いつでも君は
水前寺清子 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

こころとこころのほそみちに
あなたの小さな親切が
ぽとんと落ちてきらりと燃える
ろうそくの火が燃えてひろがる
一本が十本に十本が百本に
百本が千本にふえてゆく
いつでもいつでもいつでも君は
夢みる夢みる夢みる星よ

なみだはみんなでわけあって
小さくしようよお互に
この手で街を明るくしよう
友情の手で花を植えよう
一本が十本に十本が百本に
百本が千本になるんだね
植えよう植えよう友情の花
咲かそう咲かそう友情の花

うれしいときにはよろこびを
みんなに廻してふやそうよ
小さなままで終らせないで
乾盃のうた廻しあおうよ
一本が十本に十本が百本に
百本が千本にふえてゆく

小さな小さな乾盃のうた
大きく大きく大きくなれ
