Lyrics[]
Ah... Shizuka na
Gogo no umibe o
Watagumo chirashite
Natsu ga nagareru
Yureru kage sanbashi de
Sotto yorisotte iru no ni
Futari mada se wo mukete
Jareru you ni kenka tsuzukete 'ru ne
Moshimo kiseki wo
Hitotsu okoseru to iu nara
Kono isshun wo
E no naka ni tojikome
Kawaru jidai no
Sawagashisa nante shirazu ni
Tada anata dake mitsumetai
Ah... Mure kara
Hagureta tori ga
Ashita wo sagashite
Nami ni kiete 'ku
Hito wa naze wake mo naku
Naki ja kutte umareru n' darou
Itsu ka kuru tabidachi ni
Ochiru namida Yokoku shite you sa
Moshimo kono yo ni
Kanashimi kienai mama nara
Tenshi ga egaku
E no naka ni nigekomi
Itsumo tagai no
Mune ni rakuen wo kanjite
Tada hohoende itai no ni
Moshimo kiseki wo
Hitotsu okoseru to iu nara
Kono isshun wo
E no naka ni tojikome
Kawaru jidai no
Sawagashisa nante shirazu ni
Tada anata dake mitsumetai
Ah... at the beach
On a quiet afternoon
The summer flows by
Sprinkling fleecy clouds
The swaying shadow at the wharf
We were snuggling softly, too
The couple, still turning it's back
Continues to fight playfully
If I could cause
Just one miracle
It would be trapping
This moment in a picture
Not knowing the noise
Of a changing era
I just want to stare at only you
Ah... the bird that
Strayed from the flock
Disappears into the waves
Searching for tomorrow
Why is it that people are
Born crying without any reason?
With the setting off that will come someday
I'll be able to know falling tears well
If there is sadness in the world
That won't disappear
There is refuge in a picture
Painted by an angel
Always feeling the paradise
In both our hearts
I just want to keep grinning, too
If I could cause
Just one miracle
It would be trapping
This moment in a picture
Not knowing the noise
Of a changing era
I just want to stare at only you
Ah・・・静かな午後の海辺を
綿雲散らして夏が流れる
揺れる影 桟橋で
そっと寄り添っているのに
二人まだ背を向けて
じゃれるように喧嘩続けてるね
※
もしも奇跡を ひとつ起こせると言うなら
この一瞬を 絵の中に閉じ込め
変わる時代の 騒がしさなんて知らずに
ただあなただけ 見つめたい
Ah・・・群れから はぶれた鳥が
明日を探して 波に消えてく
人はなぜ 理由もなく
泣きじゃくって 生まれるんだろう
いつか来る 旅立ちに
落ちる涙 絡垂ｵてるようさ
もしもこのよに 悲しみ消えないままなら
天使が描く 絵の中に逃げ込み
いつも互いの 胸に楽園を感じて
ただ微笑んで いたいのに
