Eternal Love
Sayuri Sugawara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
このままずっと続きますように
夜空に願うの
この手は まだ 離せない
何気ない日々 繰り返してた
何も怖くなかった
二人で明日を迎えられる事が
強い瞳に守られている
この時間が止まればいいのに
沢山の光に照らされた横顔
見ていたい
あなたとの愛が 永遠であるように
夜空に願うの
この手は まだ 離せない
どうしても甘えてしまう
もっと大人になりたいのに
愚痴とか弱音を吐けるのは
あなたしかいないから
初めてキスをしたあの時の
甘い味を覚えているよ
今思えば 幸せすぎたのかもね
頬を流れる涙に気づかれないように
うつむいていたの
「アイシテル」
あなたの言葉が微かに震えてた
あなたとの愛を 失いたくないから
夜空に誓うの
この手は もう 離さない
あなたとの愛が 永遠であるように
夜空に願うの
この手は まだ 離せない
あなたとの愛を 失いたくないから
夜空に誓うの
この手は もう 離さない
The song "Eternal Love" by Sayuri Sugawara expresses the feeling of wanting love to last forever. The lyrics reflect the desire to hold onto a seemingly perfect and worry-free relationship that was taken for granted until it was threatened. The simplicity of everyday life was cherished, but life's uncertainties have led to the realization that the love shared with another person is the only source of comfort to be found in a world full of challenges. The lyrics mention reminiscing on a first kiss and the sweetness of the memory. The singer wants to become more mature but finds themselves unable to help but need to rely on their partner. The song's final lines express the desire to never let go of that love, even as the world feels uncertain, and the need to make a promise to the night sky to hold onto that love forever.
The song captures a sense of nostalgia while also expressing some wishes for the future. There is a sense of desperation to hold onto the present moment, to recapture a feeling that could be lost forever. In this way, the lyrics reflect the fleeting nature of life and the importance of cherishing what one has while they still have it. The song bears a message of hope, with the singer's declaration of undying love in promising the night sky to hold onto that love as if it were eternal.

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line bringing this back in 2023 hit me like a brick with nostalgia that I had to go back and listen to the full song again. And I’m pleased that I still know the lyrics all these years later. 😭

This plays during the flashback scene between Snow and Serah in the Japanese version. The English version uses "Serah's Theme" instead. It's a different Sayuri Sugawara song ("Kimi Ga Iru Kara", which means 'because you're here') that plays at the end of the game in the Japanese version and is replaced by "My Hands" in the English version.

Wow...I love Sayuri-chan's voice. The dynamics of her voice are flawless...from her crescendo to her calando and marcato. Just...flawless. I love it...
