Lyrics:
Japanese:
いつも笑って元気で元気で　あたしはそう見えてる？見せてる
だって夏の太陽は　こんなにも明るいけど　夏の月は
どこか切ない　寂しいよ　あなたが居ないとこんなにも

いつも大丈夫だよって　傷ついてないフリしてる　無理してる
だって信じたいって思えること　大事にしたかったからだよ
だけど　寂しいよ　あなたが居ないとこんなにも

会いたくて　どうしようもない想いは　明日の空に消えてゆく
風に揺れる向日葵　ずっとそばにいるよ

泣き虫だよ全然弱いよ　まだまだ小さいよだけど上を向いて
あの星に届いたらって希望を捨ててるわけじゃない
待ってるコトは　とても孤独で

どんなに厳しい陽射しが　続いても終わらなくても
枯れる事の無い　愛情を持ってるのは1人1人の心
偽りの無い　気持ちをあなたにぶつけてみたい

ありがとう　いろんな支えてくれる言葉にそして
たった1人のあなたに
風にゆれる向日葵 ずっとそばにいるよ

大好きと　言えたら　怖がらずもっと
強いあたしがいたなら
ウソなんて つかなくてもよかったのに…

会いたくて　どうしようもない想いは　明日の空に消えてゆく
風に揺れる向日葵　ずっとそばにいるよ

English:
always smiling vibrantly; full of energy, is that how I appear? that's what I show
even though the summer sun is that bright,
it's because you're not here with me that the summer moon is somehow painful and lonely

always, I say "I'm okay!", pretend I'm not hurt and overdo things
because I valued that which I thought I wanted to believe in
I feel this much loneliness since you're not here with me

I want to see you but there is nothing I can do; the thought continues to disappear into tomorrow's sky
the sunflower swayed by the breeze will be by my side through and through

I'm a crybaby and so weak! Though I'm still small and have a ways to go, I'm looking skywards
I didn't cast aside my hopes to reach the faraway stars
waiting is just so terribly lonely...

No matter how relentless the rays of the sun continue to shine, even if they never cease
this affection I have that won't wither is this one, single heart
I want to try and move (your heart) with this feeling, without it being a lie

thank you for all the support you've given me through words
for the one and only you
the sunflower swayed by the breeze will be by my side through and through

if I could've said "I love you", without being timid,
if I had been stronger,
then without telling any lies, I would've been happy...

I want to see you but there is nothing I can do; the thought continues to disappear into tomorrow's sky
in the breeze the sunflower sways and will be by my side, through and through
