願いましょう 幸せになれ
瞳に sweet my sweet my dream
そっと浮かんだ 輝きは愛の実？
切ない香りが fantastic
君も一緒に感じて欲しいの
繋がる軌跡の糸
そうよ同じ日々を 過ごすことができたら
ずっとね笑顔で for you
見つめ合う時間が好き 伸ばす手が触れるよ

願う胸が気づいたの
飛んでけ sweet my sweet my dream
不思議揺れてる 私も揺られてる？
ときめく目と目で Romantic
君がいるなら大丈夫だから
優しく見守ってね
宙に浮かぶparadise 星の誘惑かもね
虹が階段になり
夢の先甘い香り 包まれた心で
毎日咲く花のように 綺麗に生きてみたい
