|jp=風を纏って　→　鳥は進む　→　遥か彼方へ――<br>
深い蒼は　→　海に溶けて　→　微睡み揺れる――<br>
<br>
草木は萌え　→　唄いながら　→　命は廻る――<br>
見送る灯は　→　夜を越えて　→　優しく微笑む――<br>
<br>
瞳を閉じれば...　何時の日にも...　色褪せない...　景色がある...<br>
その全てに...　君がいたことを...　僕は...　【忘れ】ないよ――<br>
<br>
今日も夕陽は　→　母のように　→　地平を抱きしめ――<br>
街角には　→　子供達の　→　無邪気な影が伸びる――<br>
<br>
君のいない...　世界でさえ...　唯愛しく...　泣きたくなる...<br>
それも全て...　君がいたからさ...　僕は決して...　【忘れ】ないよ――<br>
<br>
何故...　僕らは...　大切な物...　【失って】から気付くのか？<br>
二度と...　戻せぬ輝きに...　日々の眩さに...<br>
<br>
それでも...　もしも...　叶うなら...　君と...　もう一度――<br>

|en=Borne aloft by gentle winds, oh the bird journeys on, as yonder horizon gleams.<br>
The deep blue of the sky, now it yields to the sea, as waves sway us into dreams.<br>
The buds burst into bloom, and they sing all the while, the wheel of life turns anew.<br>
The light that guards us guides us through darkest of night, Its smile bright as sun blazes through.<br>
<br>
If you'd just close your eyes, you'd see that there are sights, <br>
That though day follows night, still they don't fade from view.<br>
And in most every one, you're there, and that is why for me, <br>
Those days will stay, they'll be forever true.<br>
<br>
Today, just like every other, the warm evening sun, she cradles the land like Mother.<br>
The shadows of the children, they dance down the street, <br>
And laughing join hands with one another.<br>
<br>
And here in this world, this world without you, <br>
Though I still love it all, I just can't help but cry.<br>
You know that all of this, it's all because you came to me, <br>
Those days will stay, they'll last until the end of time.<br>
<br>
Why do all of the things we love most of all,<br>
Shine most for us when they can't answer our call?<br>
There's a sparkle that lit all those dazzling days that'll never come back to me.<br>
<br>
If it were only possible, if it could come true... If I could have just one last day with you…<br>
