Lyrics:
Japanese:
流れる季節の真ん中で
ふと日の長さを感じます
せわしく過ぎる日々の中に
私とあなたで夢を描く

３月の風に想いをのせて
桜のつぼみは春へとつづきます

溢れ出す光の粒が
少しずつ朝を暖めます
大きなあくびをした後に
少し照れてるあなたの横で

新たな世界の入り口に立ち
気づいたことは１人じゃないってこと

瞳を閉じれば　あなたが
まぶたのうらに　いることで
どれほど強くなれたでしょう
あなたにとって私も　そうでありたい

砂ぼこり運ぶ　つむじ風
洗濯物に　絡まりますが
昼前の空の白い月は
何だかきれいで　見とれました

上手くはいかぬこともあるけれど
天を仰げば　それさえ小さくて

青い空は凛と澄んで
羊雲は静かに揺れる
花咲くを待つ喜びを
分かち合えるのであれば　それは幸せ

この先も　隣で　そっと微笑んで

瞳を閉じれば　あなたが
まぶたのうらに　いることで
どれほど強くなれたでしょう
あなたにとって私も　そうでありたい

English:
amidst the flowing season
I suddenly feel the length of the days
in the bustle of every day
with you and I, a dream is sketched

my feelings sailing upon the march breeze
on into spring, the buds of the cherry blossoms continue

little by little, the beads of overflowing light
begin to warm the morning
after letting out a big yawn,
I'm a little embarassed; being beside you

having stood at the entrance of the door to a new world
I realized was that I was not alone

if I were to close my eyes
I'd see you there*
how much stronger has that made me?
I hope that I've had the same effect on you

though the cloud of dust carried upon the swirling wind
caused the laundry to become tangled
the white moon in the morning sky
somehow it was so beautiful, I couldn't take my eyes off it

although, there are things that don't go well
if I look up to the heavens, those things seem insignificant

the blue sky is cold and clear
the wispy clouds sway quietly
the joy of waiting for the flowers to bloom
If I could share that, I'd be happy

from now on, you'll be beside me, quietly smiling

if I were to close my eyes
I'd see you there*
how much stronger has that made me?
I hope that I've had the same effect on you

Translation Notes:
* this literally means, "on the underside/reverse side of my eyelids, you exist." To properly explain it in english, it is much akin to closing your eyes and envisioning that person.
