想い出のサマードレス
杉山清貴 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

夕暮れのノースショアから
潮風が誘いにくる時期(ころ)
波にまだ濡れたみみもと
ささやきのふりして
長い髪たわむれたくなる
また逢えたね約束もしないで
Won't You Stop
きみのやさしさを

夏が知らせにくるから
Won't You Stop
ことばよりうまく
恋がつたえられたら

窓際の写真たてには
好きになる
以前(まえ)のきみがいる
去年より少しやせたと
右肩でむすんだ
想い出のドレスがほどけた
抱きしめたいいままでのすべてを
Won't You Stop
逢うたびにきみは
とても胸にしみてくる
Won't You Stop
センチメンタルも
きみは忘れさせるね

また逢えるね
この気持ちかわらず
Won't You Stop
きみのときめきが
夏をむかえにゆくから
Won't You Stop
誰よりもうまく
恋をただつたえたい
Won't You Stop
逢うたびにきみは
とても胸にしみてくる
Won't You Stop

センチメンタルも
きみは忘れさせるね
