A LETTER
澤野弘之 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my friends have gone away
I need myself to sing this song
But you always passed away
But It seems to be o.k.
All my wish and powers
They would take me to the gate
Should I really find
my problem?
Do I really want to know about?
I'm writing a letter for me
Is there anything I would say?
I don't have to throw
my life away
Everything goes wrong―
―to turn into the way of life
This could take so long
to find the way
All those people cry in vain
Now I see the light in pain
I can find the way of love

You don't have to throw
your life away
Everything goes wrong―
―to turn into the way of life
This could take so long
to find the way
All those people cry in vain
Now you see the light in pain

Say good bye
into the perfect sky




But it's your love can be
the real life line
