時が経つのは早すぎて
1年前が昨日のように
思えてくる毎日が
続いて私に語りかける
季節と一緒に変わってこう
お互いの夢に近づいていけるように
出会えたコトから
今の自分が生きてる

これからも会えなくても
何か起きたら飛んで行くよ
少しだけ大人になった時
2人また笑顔で
会えますように... My Friend

写真見ながら問いかける
数々の思い出よみがえる
離れていてもいつでも
そのまっすぐな瞳見守っているよ
So キミは自分がやるべきコトを
やってきてよ
何も心配はいらないから
言葉じゃ伝えきれない
想いも分かり合える
今だけは会えなくても
私は私でやってゆくよ
少しだけ大人になった時
2人もっと成長して
会えるといいネ... My Friend
約束とかはしないでも
いつかまたすぐ会える気がするから
信じてMy Friend You can do it!
My Friend
もっと高く! 高く!
手をのばしてFly... Fly...
出会えたコトから
今の自分が生きてる
これからも会えなくても
何か起きたら飛んで行くよ
少しだけ大人になった時
2人また笑顔で
会えますように... My Friend
言葉じゃ伝えきれない
想いも分かり合える
今だけは会えなくても
私は私でやってゆくよ
少しだけ大人になった時

2人もっと成長して
会えるといいネ... My Friend
