終わらない夢から覚めたような
雨上がりに光が差すような
それはある日ふいに気づいた
Fell in love, fell in love,
fell in love with you
どんな秘密だってわけあいたい
ほんのちょっとじゃ
なくってたくさん

お腹のずっと底で笑えたんだ
Fell in love,
fell in love with you
You are ...
You are my only Valentine
You are ...
You are my only little Valentine
愛してるって想いひとつで
こんなにも心が輝く
どこにいたって
はなればなれだって
こんなにも心が強くなる
So, you give me
the sweetest life
毎日がはかない
とびきりのバレンタインみたい
ふたりきりの時間
とけてゆく甘さ
その一瞬を大事に味わいたい

叶わぬ恋を忘れられない
さみしがることをやめられない
それは愚かな呪いだった
Fell in love, fell in love,
fell in love with you
完璧なふたりじゃないけれど
欠けたままのグラスで乾杯!
完璧な人生に思えるんだ
Fell in love,
fell in love with you
You are ...
You are my only Valentine
You are ...
You are my only little Valentine
愛してるって想いひとつで
こんなにも心が輝く
どこにいたって
はなればなれだって
こんなにも心が強くなる
So, you give me
the sweetest life
毎日がはかない
とびきりのバレンタインみたい
ふたりきりの時間
とけてゆく甘さ
その一瞬を大事に味わいたい
あなたへ毎日
忘れず贈ろう
あふれる心に
一番近い言葉
愛してるって想いひとつで
どうして心が満ちてゆく
どこにいたって
はなればなれだって
なぜ心強くいられるの
愛してるって想いひとつで
こんなにも心が輝く
どこにいたって
はなればなれだって
こんなにも心が強くなる
So, you give me
