あの日誓った夢を今でも
この胸にそっと
大切にしまってるよ
昨日、今日、明日へと
流れてゆく季節(じかん)は
忙しく過ぎて
また陽は昇ってくけれど
伝えたくて

伝えたくて
今でも君のこと想ってるよ
One Way Love One Way Love
You can come back
いつでもここに居るよ
One Way Love One Way Love

あの空に何度問いかけただろう
だけど君はもうずっと遠くの人
涙こらえきれず
あの季節(ころ)の風を感じると
君の笑顔をまた想い出してるよ
届けたくて
届けたくて
今でも君のこと想ってるよ
One Way Love One Way Love
You can come back
いつでもここに居るよ
One Way Love One Way Love

But I have a problem some time
愛と夢のつづき
And you say you got
to be straight up
支えてくれたね
I feel I feel
I feel like Love is the answer
どんなに離れてても
Fly away
今でもあの日を想い出すよ
One Way Love One Way Love
You can come back

いつまでもここに居るよ
One Way Love One Way Love
