Innocent Love
THE ALFEE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
幸せな気持ちに...
愛とは見返りを求めずに
ありのまま信じること
だけど綺麗ごと並べても
想いは届かない
素直な気持ちで互いの心
鏡に映せばいい...
二人を巡り逢わせた
無償の愛であなたを抱きしめ
今を生きてゆくのさ
どんな時でも 守るべきもの
譲れないもの あなたの笑顔
二度と帰らぬ 今この時を
共にあなたと 生きていたい
生きることに疲れたなんて
時々思うけど...
何気ない月日の積み重ねが
二人を強くさせる
だから言葉より大切な
心で感じるもの...
ほんの少しの勇気があれば
誰でも見つかるはず
いつか運命の扉が
涙を連れて来ても
無償の愛であなたを守ろう
明日を瞳に映して
愛はいつでも そばにあるもの
気づかぬうちに そっと輝く
あなたのために 此処にいるのさ
かけがえのない 日々のために
昨日と同じ今日があるように
巡りゆく季節(トキ)の中で
無償の愛はすべてを受け入れ
今を生きて行くこと
どんな時でも 守るべきもの
譲れないもの あなたの笑顔
二度と帰らぬ 今この時を
共にあなたと 生きていたい
愛はいつでも そばにあるもの
気づかぬうちに そっと輝く
あなたのために 此処にいるのさ
かけがえのない 日々のために
二度と帰らぬ 今この時を
共にあなたと 生きていたい
世界の誰よりI Love You
