新世紀
河合奈保子 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

幼い頃からあこがれてた
素敵な人といつか巡り会うと
いまあなたに見つめられて
その時だと気づいた

突然の訪れにとまどう私
あなたの言葉に今はまだ心揺れるだけ
どうか待っていて

その言葉を受け止められる日まで

人を恋して目に映る世界は
何もかもが眩しく輝いて見える
今何かが動き始めている

甘い言葉はどうかかけないで
あなたとの出会いを夢で終わらせたくないから

優しくしないで
あなたの愛に甘えてしまいそう
今はあなたの心に
応えられるよう、強くなりたい私

その時間を乗り越えたふたりは
きっと強い愛で結ばれる
そのときは私は素直にあなたの気持ちに応えたい

今始まるふたりの世界
