AZU Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
夢の続きがここに...ほら
明日へと歩き出す二人だけの
永遠の約束をして uh
ありふれた幸せでもいいから
ただいつまででも隣で笑ってて
抱きしめたてのぬくもりが今
あなただけに届く瞬間
誓うの I promise
ひとつの扉を開く度に
見つけた切なさ喜びも
あなたの隣で感じながら
大人になってきたの uh
特別な言葉はもういらない
どうかいつの日も
この手を離さないで
変わらないでね 愛していてね
10年後も100年先も
どんな痛みさえも分け合う様に
あなたと I promise
幾千もの時を越えて
巡り合えた私の場所
一人旅をしてきた
今日までにサヨナラ
これからはあなたと二人
抱きしめたてのぬくもりが今
あなただけに届く瞬間
奇跡よりももっと深い愛で
誓うの 新しい二人の物語を
誓うの I promise
