Wings Of My Heart
河合奈保子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
距離をおいて見つめてきた
離れて暮らし気づいたの
そばにいると見えない愛がある
過ぎてゆく季節の中で
不安は涙になるけれど
いつかあなたの夢に負けないほど
* 駆けてゆきたい あなたのもとへ
まっすぐに私のままで
愛することと 愛されること
あなたが そして教えてくれた
夢を語るあなたの瞳（め）に
怖いくらい吸いこまれた
でも私自身が見えなくて
もどかしさに逃げだしたくなった
きっとあなたも淋しさを
抱えて過ごしているでしょう
いつかあなたの愛に負けないほど
心強くなって・・・
せつない時間に愛を知ったの
会いたくて 泣きたいけれど
あなたが望めば飛んでゆける
心には翼があるから・・・
The Japanese song "Wings Of My Heart" portrays the story of a couple facing the difficult challenge of long-distance love. The two lovers have been separated for some time, and they have come to realize that the closer they are, the harder it is to see the love that is right in front of them. They have kept their distance from each other and have been watching each other from afar. As time passes, the anxiety of their separation has caused them to shed tears. However, despite the distance, they hope to maintain and deepen their love, just like how one person's love should be as strong as their dreams.
The lyrics express the desire of the singer to run straight to her lover's side, maintaining her true self and values. The words depict the beauty of a loving relationship, giving and receiving love is important in life, as the lover taught her. There is fear and uncertainty in the singer's heart as she looks into her lover's eyes while sharing her dreams. The intense emotions that she feels are encompassed in the title "Wings Of My Heart" as she discovers that even though she may not see herself, she has the strength and ability to fly towards her dreams.

この曲とハーフムーンセレナーデを聞くと彼女の才能が惜しくて残念でなりません。音楽活動を続けていれば竹内まりやさんや、ゆーみんさん、はたまた、なかじまみゆきさんに匹敵する程のシンガーソングライターになっていたとおもいます。今年の音楽活動再開を心からお願い申し上げます。
