Suddenly
郷ひろみ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

髪を直さないで
もう一度僕を見て
苦い別れかたを
どれほど悔やんだろう
君のくすり指を
縛る誰がいても
逢ってしまったから
ふたりはこの夜に

わかってた忘れられない人だと
わかってた季節の片隅消え残る
それが愛だから
雨に濡れてそっと
くちびる重ねよう
愛が犯した罪
すべてを僕にだけ
わかってたあの目確かにふたりは
わかってたどんなに離れても
心には嘘はつけないと

I can't get you off my mind
you're the only one I've known
Yes' I wanna be in your arms
You're the only love I've known
ふたりは...
わかってた忘れきれない人だと
わかってた疑うさびしさを
抱きしめて
これが愛だから

I can't get you off my mind
you're the only one I've known
Yes' I wanna be in your arms
You're the only love I've known

I can't get you off my mind
you're the only one I've known
