TRF Lyrics

この胸に抱かれ 目覚めるあなたへ
少し照れながら 歌いましょう
渇いた心に 優しい記憶が
溢れてくるように
Joy for you and me 守りたい
ずっと ずっと 離さないように
Joy for two again 時を越えて
陽が昇る窓に 二人帰ろう
Pray もう一度届けて この声を
空に描かれた 幾千の光も
そっとあなたを 癒してくれる
ゆずれない夢も 永遠の未来図も
こぼさないでいて
Joy for your love again
ここにいるよ
いつもその瞳が 巡る景色を
ずっと ずっと 映し出すように
Joy for two of us もう迷わない
陽が昇る海を 二人渡ろう
Joy for you and me 守りたい
夜が明けるまで この温かい手を
ずっと ずっと 離さないように
Joy for two again 時を越えて
陽が昇る窓に 二人帰ろう
Pray あなたに 届けて この歌を
Ooh, still not alone
