The lyrics of 桑田佳祐's song "ONE DAY" convey a sense of longing and nostalgia. The opening lines, "雨が心に 音をたてる 闇を枕に 今宵 oh, poor boy" (The rain makes a sound in my heart, with darkness as my pillow tonight, oh poor boy), set a melancholic tone. It seems to describe a lonely night where the rain serves as a backdrop to the singer's emotions.

The chorus, "So c'mon, one day, I found you Tonight, I miss you," expresses the desire to be with someone, indicating that the singer has found someone special but is currently separated from them. The repetition of "one day" suggests hope and anticipation for a future reunion.

The following lines, "波のしらべに 君も揺れる 南の風は 俺にどう言うの? Oh woman, one day, I found you Tonight, I miss you" (You sway to the melody of the waves, what does the southern wind say to me? Oh woman, one day, I found you, Tonight, I miss you), further emphasize the longing for a loved one. It seems that the singer imagines their loved one being affected by the same serene beauty of nature.

The verse, "夢見るような 瞳の lady 言葉にならぬほどに いけない声に 抱かれて眠る あの日々よ so-long" (Lady with dreamy eyes, embraced by a voice that cannot be put into words, sleeping, so long to those days), suggests a yearning for the past and the tender moments shared with someone special. The singer remembers those days with nostalgia and a sense of loss.
