ORIGINAL LOVE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

暖かく風が流れ出す
どことなく澄ます君と新しい車で
海へ向かった
前に夢見てたことかもしれない
奇跡のよう

ふと想う過ぎた年月を
しばらくぶりに君と長く話し込み

夜が明けてく
あの頃の想い瞳の輝き
今もそのまま同じ

いつの日よりも今の君が一番いとおしい
My sweet heart
永くいつの日もずっと今の君をこのまま愛したい
My sweet heart

明ける空消え始めた星を
引き連れて走るハイウェイ
前よりも優しい君を乗せてる
強すぎる風が今は心地よい
夏の空が明ける

いつの日よりも今の君が一番いとおしい
My sweet heart
永くいつの日もずっと今の君をこのまま愛したい
My sweet heart

いつの日よりも今の君が本当にいとおしい
My sweet heart
永くいつの日もずっと今の君をこのまま愛したい
My sweet heart

明ける空
As time goes by
明ける空
As time goes by
明ける空
As time goes by
明ける空
As time goes by

明ける空
As time goes by
