Lyrics:
いつまでも君と一緒にいたかった
itsumade mo kimi to issho ni itakatta
I had wanted to be with you forever

こわかった暗い夜もあるけど
kowakatta kurai yoru mo aru kedo
although there were dark, scary nights

そんな時　君の歌を想い出す
sonna toki kimi no uta wo omoidasu
during those sorts of times, I would remember your song

あのメロディー　ずっと忘れない
ano merodii, zutto wasurenai
that distant melody, I'll never forget


見上げた空にひとすじの雲　果てなく広がる青い空さえ
miageta sora ni hitosuji no kumo hatenaku hirogaru aoi sora sae
in the sky I looked up at there was a line of clouds; even the vast, endless blue sky

やがて君を誘う旅から　引き止めておくことはできない
yagate kimi wo sasou tabi kara hikitomete oku koto wa dekinai
won't hinder you from that imminent journey calling you


大事なものは何ですか　くじけず持ってる夢ですか
daiji na mono wa nan desu ka kujikezu motteru yume desu ka
What is precious? is it the unbreakable dreams you possess?

僕には君が宝物だったよ
boku niwa kimi ga takaramono datta yo
to me, you were my treasure


いつまでも君と一緒にいたかった
itsumade mo kimi to issho ni itakatta
I had wanted to be with you forever

今もまだナミダは乾かないけど
ima mo mada namida wa kawakanai kedo
even now, still my tears won't dry

そんな時　君の笑顔　想い出す
sonna toki kimi no egao omoi dasu
but in times like these, I'll remember your smile

優しさに僕は抱かれてた
yasashisa ni boku wa dakareteta
I was embraced by your kindness


会えなくなると考えてみた　君と過ごした愛しい日々を
aenaku naru to kangaete mita kimi to sugoshita itoshii hibi wo
unable to see you anymore, I tried to think Of the days of love spent with you

かかえたひざ　傷のあとにも　思い出達があふれているよ
kakaeta hiza, kizu no ato nimo omoidetachi ga afurete iru yo
hugging your knees, and even the scars from being hurt; the memories brim over


幸せなこと何ですか　いろんなことがあるけれど
shiawase na koto nan desu ka ironna koto ga aru keredo
What are the happy moments? although there may be various ones

僕には君が宝物だったよ
boku niwa kimi ga takaramono datta yo
To me, you were my treasure


いつまでも君と一緒にいたかった
itsumade mo kimi to issho ni itakatta
I had wanted to be with you forever

大好きな歌も今は聞けない
daisuki na uta mo ima wa kikenai
that song I love, I can no longer hear it

そんな時　君のぬくもりのそばに
sonna toki kimi no nukumori no soba ni
In these sort of moments, the warmth of you being by my side

僕はずっと・・ずっといたかった・・・
boku wa zutto... zutto itakatta...
always... always I had wanted...


だけど今　大好きな君の事見送るとき
dakedo ima daisuki na kimi no koto miokuru toki
however, now is the time to bid you farewell

精一杯のエールを送るよ
seiippai no eeru wo okuru yo
and I'll bid you goodbye with a great big shout


こころから君に愛を贈るから
kokoro kara kimi ni ai wo okuru kara
I will send you the love in my heart

最高の笑顔でサヨナラしよう
saikou no egao de sayonara shiyou
so, with the grandest of smiles, let's say goodbye


いつまでも君と一緒にいたかった
itsumade mo kimi to issho ni itakatta
I had wanted to be with you forever

こわかった暗い夜もあるけど
kowakatta kurai yoru mo aru kedo

そんな時　君の歌を想い出す
sonna toki kimi no uta wo omoidasu
during those sorts of times, I would remember your song

歩き出そう　道は続いてく
arukidasou, michi wa tsuzuiteku
and start walking as the road continues onward
