Kiroro Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

照り輝く太陽と焼けた肌が眩しいね
長かったあの時が今甦る
長かったようで短い
すてきな思い出の月日
真っ黒な顔が物語っているよ
帰り際バスの窓から見える校庭
すてきだね一生懸命な姿が
目にやきついてる

みんなの力で作りあげるプレイ
決してそれは1人だけの
力ではないさ
つらい時悲しい時
支えてくれるみんな
それがチームワークなんだね
本番の舞台で繰り広げられる
決戦の日々
勝っても負けても瞳は輝いてた

帰り際バスの窓から見える校庭
すてきだね一生懸命な姿が
目にやきついてる
すてきだねこんなのって
すてきだね憧れだね
今度は私がすてきになりたい
見守っていてね
すてきだねこんなのって
すてきだね憧れだね
今度は私がすてきになりたい
見守っていてね

今度は私がすてきになりたい
見守っていてね
