Bahashishi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

戸惑ってるあなたの背中に頬寄せて
何か言おうとしてる事に気が付いたんだ

春からの贈り物を両手ですくいあげて
「キレイダネ」と一言口にしたんだ

360°に広がるこの花びら
桃色の雪みたい二人の頬を染めてゆくよ

どこまでも続いてゆくチェリーブロッサムダンス

悴む手春冷えを吐息で温めて
あなたのそのポケットからそっと出してみる

大きな大きな手で私の頬包んで
「内緒だよ」だなんて笑っていたんだ

桃色にキラメイタサクラがハラハラ舞う
数えきれないほどの瞳に映る美しさが
どこまでも続いてゆく Pink¥dチェリー

美しさにとらわれて何故か涙溢れ
ねぇ神様どうか時を止めて

360°に広がるこの花びら
桃色の雪みたい二人の頬を染めてゆくよ
どこまでも続いてゆくチェリーブロッサムダンス

桃色にキラメイタサクラがハラハラ舞う

数えきれないほどの瞳に映る美しさが
どこまでも続いてゆく Pink¥dチェリー
