Hoshizora no Rendezvous
THE ALFEE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

星空のchandelier
ため息の B.G.M
今夜君と
Drivin' through the night!
君を見てるとどんなことも
うまくいきそうな
不思議な気分になってしまう
I tell you I love you

だけど君な気づかぬふりして
この手をすり抜け
Run run run away!
何処かへ逃げてしまうのさ
No! No! No!
星空への rendezvous
抱きしめたい only my love
二人だけの
Drivin' through the night!

愛こそすべてと誓うよ流星に
笞えて do you love me baby!
星空のchandelier
ため息のb.g.m
今夜君と
Drivin' through the night!
シート倒れて瞳を閉じて
カーラジオからは
懐かしい R&R 囁くよ
「P.S I love you」
だけど君は明日になれぱ
小鳥のように fly fly away
何処かへ飛んでゆくけど
恋人たちは夢見る
夜がずっと
このまま続くことだけを woo!
明日のことは気にせず
今だけ自由ならそれでいい
Baby it's alright!
星空のchandelier
ため息の B.G.M
今度君と
Drivin' through the night!

星空への rendezvous
Drivin' through the night!
