Sakura
Allister Lyrics

Pacts we have made, while planning for the day
We made promises to each other while looking forward to the next time we meet

That we might get a chance to meet again
We hoped to see each other again someday

I'll wave and nod, while parting down these city streets
I'll say goodbye to you as I walk down the busy city streets

that Cherry Blossoms hedge
Surrounded by the soft pink petals of the cherry blossom trees

Though we have forged through good times and through bad
We've been through ups and downs together

You always kept a smile on your face
You always remained optimistic and cheerful

And when this world would try to drag me to the ground
When life got tough and overwhelming

I find strength in those days
I drew strength from the memories of our good times together

And through these misty depths
Despite the uncertainty and confusion

I faintly still detect
I can still recall

That melody we used to hold so dear
The tune that we both cherished

Sakura, Sakura
The cherry blossom trees, a symbol of beauty and impermanence

Full and clinging to the trees
The blooms in full splendor, yet fragile and ephemeral

Knowing soon their fate is near, but holding strong throughout the breeze
Despite their impending fall, they sway gracefully in the wind

So, farewell my old friend, it's time for us to go
It's time for us to part ways, my dear friend

With unchanging hearts we'll both continue on… from here
We'll move on but our bond will remain steadfast

Now it's as though, I have the strength to say,
I can finally express myself without hesitation

the words that I have longed to speak to you,
The things I've always wanted to tell you

From here on out, I wish you nothing but the best in everything you do.
I hope you'll have a bright future and succeed in all your endeavors

This bustling cityscape,
The busy and ever-changing urban scenery

that's changing every day,
The city that never stays the same

feels as though it's rushing us along
It's like we're being carried by the fast-paced flow of life

Slowly drifting from the boughs
The cherry blossoms gracefully falling from the branches

With the hopes that they'll be born again, while floating to the ground
They'll scatter to the earth, and hopefully bloom again next spring

Please don't shed any tears, but it's time for us to part
Let's not cry, but accept that it's time for us to say goodbye

Show me again that simple smile of yours
Before we leave each other's side, let me see that beautiful smile again

Lightly dancing through the sky
The petals playfully floating in the air

Bathing in the ever present glowing of these city lights
The flowers shining under the illumination of the city lights

So farewell my old confidante, Let's meet like this again,
Goodbye, my trusted friend. Let's reunite in this same place next year

on the same paths where Cherry Blossoms fall…once more.
Where those pink petals will fall again…
