どんな色をしていますか?
流れる日々に 迷わぬように
見上げていてください
数えることできないくらい
たくさんの夢があなたを
見守ってるから 待っているから
あなたが涙を流すたびに ただ黙り込んで
慰める言葉も 知らずにいた僕を許して
ありがとうって言えないまま
あなたに逢えなくなってしまったけれど
I'm living in your sky この空に 僕はいる
誰よりも愛してた いつまでも愛してる
この世界は思うよりも
優しさで溢れています
たとえどんなに 未来を遠く感じたって 負けないで
あなたが初めて僕のことを 抱きしめたときに
感じた温もりは 今でもこの胸にあるから
ごめんねって言えないまま
あなたに逢えなくなってしまったけれど
I'm living in your sky この空の 彼方から
晴れた日も 雨の日も いつだって愛してる
はぐれた孤独を 繋ぎながら 僕らの空は広がる
ありがとうって言えないまま
あなたに逢えなくなってしまったけれど
I'm living in your sky この空に 僕はいる
誰よりも愛してた いつまでも愛してる
The lyrics to the song "Living in the Past" by P.J. Proby express nostalgic longing for a lost love, with the singer admitting regret for not telling their former partner "thank you" and "sorry" before they parted ways. The song begins with a question about the present sky and urges the listener to look up and not get lost in the flow of everyday life. The singer assures the listener that they are not alone and that their dreams are being watched over while they wait. The chorus brings up the regret of not expressing gratitude and ends with the singer declaring that they will always love their former partner and remain in their sky.
The second verse of the song emphasizes the kindness that can be found in the world and encourages the listener not to give up on the future. The singer then recalls the warmth they felt when their former partner first hugged them, stating that they still have that feeling in their heart. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's unchanging love. The song ends with the image of a wide sky that connects the listener and the singer, even if they are apart.
Overall, "Living in the Past" is a bittersweet song about the pain of losing someone and the need to express gratitude and apologize before it's too late. The lyrics recognize the beauty in the world and the value of holding onto precious memories.

晴れた日も 雨の日も いつだって愛してる
On sunny days and rainy days, I will always love you
はぐれた孤独を 繋ぎながら 僕らの空は広がる
As we connect our stray loneliness, our sky expands
