Kogoeru dake no toki dewa nakatta yo
Konayuki machi ni mai hajimeru goro
Bokutachi wa kaze o oikaketa
Otona ni nari yume ni hagurete
Tomadou boku no mae ni kimi ga tatteita
Ite tsuiteru chiisa na te o nigiri shimeru koto shika
Boku ni wa ataerareru mono wa nai keredo
Sore ga kimi e no boku no okurimono
Futari o kumoraseta ameoto
Asa niwa mado no soko shiroku someru yo
Ashiato yuki ni tsuke fuzake atte wa
Bokutachi wa waratte sugoshita ne
"Kawaru koto ga kowai no" to naki
Furueru kimi no kata ni te o nobashita hi
Nureta hitomi sorasanai de mitsume kaesu koto shika
Kimi e to todokerareru mono wa nai keredo
Dare yorimo dare yorimo mamoritai kimochi ga
Tatta hitotsu no boku no okurimono
Kore kara bokutachi ga kono kisetsu o nando mukaeyou to
Wasurenai sa kotoshi no fuyu o
Kimi o deatte kimi ni koishite
(Here Is My Gift To You)
Ite tsuiteru chiisa na te o nigiri shimeru koto shika
Boku ni wa ataerareru mono wa nai keredo
Nureta hitomi sorasanai de mitsume kaesu koto shika
Kimi e to todokerareru mono wa nai keredo
Itsu mademo itsu mademo soba ni ite ageyou
Sore ga kimi e no boku no kimi e no
Kokoro o kometa ai no okurimono
Aishiteru
The song "My Gift to You" by The Chemistry talks about the memories of winter during childhood and how it was a time of chasing the wind with innocence and joy. As time passes, people grow up and eventually forget some of the things that mattered to them. The singer reminisces about the times when he was a child and chased the wind with someone, whom he addresses as "you". The singer had lost track of time and fell behind, only to find "you" in front of him. The singer is aware that he can't provide much, however, his own presence and the promise to always be around is what he can offer. Although there are no gifts that can be given, the strongest promise to always be there for them is the "gift" that the singer has.
The song has a melancholic tone but carries the message of how important it is to cherish the moments of companionship, and keeping them intact in memory for life. It highlights the importance of innocence and promises to keep them alive even as the world changes. The lyrics are heartfelt and poetic, with an emphasis on the emotions and experiences of childhood.

幼い頃の冬といえば
凍えるだけの季節(とき)ではなかったよ
粉雪 街に舞い始める頃
僕たちは 風を追いかけた
大人になり 夢にはぐれて
戸惑う僕の前に 君が立っていた
凍てついてる 小さな手を
握りしめることしか
僕には 与えられるものはないけれど
いつまでも いつまでも
そばにいてあげよう
それが君への 僕の贈り物
ふたりを曇らせた雨音
朝には 窓の外 白く染めるよ
足跡 雪につけ ふざけあっては
僕たちは 笑って過ごしたね
「変わることがこわいの」と泣き
震える 君の肩に 手を伸ばした日
濡れた瞳 そらさないで
見つめ返すことしか
君へと 届けられるものはないけれど
誰よりも 誰よりも 守りたい気持ちが
たったひとつの 僕の贈り物
これから 僕たちが この季節を
何度迎えようと
忘れないさ 今年の冬を
君と出会って 君に恋して
(Here is MY GIFT TO YOU)
凍てついてる 小さな手を
握りしめることしか
僕には 与えられるものはないけれど
濡れた瞳 そらさないで
見つめ返すことしか
君へと 届けられるものはないけれど
いつまでも いつまでも
そばにいてあげよう
それが君への 僕の君への
心を込めた 愛の贈り物
愛してる
