Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
君を抱きしめる遥かな想い
Baby世界の悲しみに
打たれそうな夜は
君に口づけて祈りを捧げよう
愛し合えるのか? ずっと
この魂のすべてを賭ける
深い夜が明ける時は来るか?
Baby涙がこぼれる風の吹く夜に
君を抱きしめる遥かな想い
Baby世界の悲しみに
打たれそうな夜は
君に口づけて祈りを捧げよう
Gimmie your love
震える指で君と
誓いあえるのはいつか
独り凍えるような
夢を見てないか?
遠く眠る君に想いだけが走る
Baby涙がこぼれる風の吹く夜に
君を抱きしめる遥かな想い
Baby世界の悲しみに
打たれそうな夜は
君に口づけて祈りを捧げよう
Gimmie your love
