Cherry Blossom Girl
Air Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want to be shy
Can't stand it anymore
I just want to say 'Hi'
To the one I love
Cherry blossom girl

I feel sick all day long
From not being with you
I just want to go out
Ever night for a while
Cherry blossom girl

Tell me why can't it be true

I never talk to you
People say that I should
I can pray everyday
For the moment to come
Cherry blossom girl

I just want to be sure
When I will come to you
When the time will be gone
You will be by my side
Cherry Blossom Girl

Tell me why can't it be true

I'll never love again
Can I say that to you
Will you run away
If I try to be true
Cherry blossom girl

Cherry blossom girl
I'll always be there for you
That means no time to waste
Whenever there's a chance
Cherry blossom girl





Tell me why can't it be true

The final lines of the song express a sense of commitment and devotion, with the singer promising to always be there for the cherry blossom girl, even if it means putting in extra effort and never wasting a chance to be with her.
