Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

まだ見ぬ君のために愛と勇気を
きっとどこかで誰かが待っている
孤独な君抱きしめる人がいる
耳を澄ませば近づく夏に
恋の予感を伝えてあげたい
まだ見ぬ君のために愛と勇気を
涙に負けないよう
愛のエールを贈りたい

誰でも人はその夢の途中で
道に迷い明日を見失う
傷ついた時君のそばにいて
一日中話聞いてあげよう
まだ見ぬ君のために愛と微笑みを
めぐる季節の中で
愛のエールを贈りたい
まだ見ぬ君への愛の詩

失くした夢も過ぎ去りし恋も
気がつけば偶然のいたずらさ
季節は変わり時を重ねて
本当の愛に近づけるのさ
まだ見ぬ君のために愛と勇気を
涙に負けないよう
愛のエールを
まだ見ぬ君のために愛と勇気を
涙に負けないよう
愛のエールを贈りたい
Can You Hold on to The Dream

Till We Can Meet My Love
