[English:]
You suddenly said, "You can cry if you want" Somehow it made me happy, instead of tears I smiled My words so clumsy, they hurt you But I don't want you to leave me, I want you to stay beside me always
Wishes and dreams I want to come true The feelings I wish I could tell you A miracle created from the things I’ve always believed Is connected to the future Always, always I want you to watch over me Dear my friend
You said, on leaving "You'll be able to do it" The loneliness I felt was wiped clean with those words I'm opening a new door, anyone would be frightened All I had to do was remember you and the strength flowed through me
I won't give up my feelings If I can make voice to all these words Then the future will open up wide Because forever you are in my heart Dear my friend
(interlude)
I vow that No matter if I stop, or if I forget I will keep moving forward Light is shining down, when I look up at the sky Until the day when I can see you again
I won't give up my feelings If I can make voice to all these words Then the future will open up wide Wishes, the dreams I want to come true The feelings I wish I could tell you A miracle created from the things I've always believed Is connected to the future Always, always I want you to watch over me Dear my friend
