流れるこの歌が終わるまで肩を抱いてよ
今日は二人のためだけに
全ての愛の歌があるのだから
歌が終わるまでにねぇ
愛を込めたキスをしてよ
少しだけでもいい少しだけでもいい
ほんの少しだけで

もっともっと側にいれば
もっともっと愛しくなる
それが愛だと今は分かる
ああ二人はともに生きていく

ありったけの想いを詰め込んでく
毎日積み重ねながら
両手に抱えきれぬ
愛をずっと届けていくの
昨日より今日今日より明日
幸せの光が溢れるように

ふざけあった日々が
今日は懐かしく写るね
昨日見たアルバム
あなたと出会う前の幼い私がいる

ずっとずっと側にいれば
もっと増える宝物が
それが愛だといつか分かる
ああ二人はともに生きていくの

ありったけの想いを詰め込んでく
毎日積み重ねながら
両手に抱えきれぬ
愛をずっと届けていくの
昨日より今日今日より明日
幸せの光が溢れるように

絶対失いたくないと思うものに
出会った時が
かけがえのない小さな愛が輝き出す瞬間

ありったけの想いを詰め込んでく
毎日積み重ねながら
両手に抱えきれぬ
愛をずっと届けていくの

昨日より今日今日より明日
幸せの光が溢れるように
