Natsu no Owari
Shota Shimizu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

今日のささやきと
昨日の争う声が
二人だけの恋のハーモニー

夢もあこがれも
どこか違ってるけど
それが僕と君のハーモニー

夜空をたださまようだけ
誰よりもあなたが好きだから
ステキな夢あこがれを
いつまでもずっと忘れずに

今夜のお別れに
最後の二人の歌は
夏の夜を飾るハーモニー

夜空をたださまようだけ
星屑のあいだをゆれながら
二人の夢あこがれを
いつまでもずっと想い出に

真夏の夢あこがれを
いつまでもずっと忘れずに
