Last Christmas ima wa mada omoide ni nante dekinai yo
Demo ai wa mou koko niwa inai this year
Last Christmas futari nara negai wa kanau to shinjiteta
Mada koerarenai kimi wa ima demo special

Deatte kizuita yo honto wa boku mo sabishigari dato
Ne kimi wa oboete irukai? Futari de kawashita hajimete no kiss
Omoeba boku wa kimi niwa tabun omosugita yone
Wakatta furri no tsuyogari harisakesona My beating heart

Last Christmas ima wa mada omoide ni nante dekinai yo
Demo ai wa mou koko niwa inai this year
Last Christmas futari nara negai wa kanau to shinjiteta
Mada koerarenai kimi wa ima demo special

Kanashimi mo setsunasa mo boku tachi ga ikiteru akashi
Ushinatte mite hajimete shitta taisetsu na mono taisetsu na hito
Mo ano koro niwa modorenai kimi no hohoemi wa modoranai (show me your smile)
Ooh ooh… Kono mune no itami o oboeteru

Last Christmas ima wa mada omoide ni nante dekinai yo
Demo ai wa mou koko niwa inai this year
Last Christmas futari nara negai wa kanau to shinjiteta
Mada koerarenai kimi wa ima demo special





Mo ano koro niwa modorenai kimi no hohoemi wa modoranai
Dakedo imademo kimi wa ima demo special
