:あなたとの愛が　このままずっと続きますように
:夜空に願うの
:この手は　まだ　離せない
:何気ない日々　繰り返してた　何も怖くなかった
:二人で明日を迎えられる事が　当たり前だったね
:強い瞳に守られている　このが止まればいいのに
:沢山の光に照らされた横顔　見ていたい
:あなたとの愛が　永遠であるように
:夜空に願うの
:この手は　まだ　離せない
:どうしても甘えてしまう　もっと大人になりたいのに
:愚痴とか弱音を吐けるのは　あなたしかいないから
:初めてキスをした　あの時の甘い味を覚えているよ
:今思えば　幸せすぎたのかもね
:頬を流れる涙に気づかれないように　うつむいていたの
:「アイシテル」
:あなたの言葉が微かに震えてた
:あなたとの愛を　失いたくないから
:夜空に誓うの
:この手は　もう　離さない
:あなたとの愛が　永遠であるように
:夜空に願うの
:この手は　まだ　離せない
:あなたとの愛を　失いたくないから
:夜空に誓うの
:この手は　もう　離さない

;Unofficial English translation
:May my love with you continue forever like this
:I wish upon the night sky
:I can't take my hands apart yet
:I repeatedly went about my casual life. I wasn't afraid of anything.
:It was natural that we could have a tomorrow together, right?
:I wish this time protected by your intense eyes would come to a standstill
:I want to see your profile illuminated by so many lights
:May my love with you be eternal
:I wish upon the night sky
:I can't take my hands apart yet
:I can't help being dependent. Though I want to be more mature,
:You're the only one I can complain to or be vulnerable with.
:I remember the sweet taste from back when we kissed for the first time
:Looking back now, maybe I was too happy
:I hung my head down so the tears flowing down my cheeks would go unnoticed
:'I love you.'
:Your words were trembling faintly
:I don't want to lose my love with you, so
:I wish upon the night sky
:I won't let go of my hands again
:May my love with you be eternal
:I wish upon the night sky
:I can't take my hands apart yet
:I don't want to lose my love with you, so
:I wish upon the night sky
:I won't let go of my hands again
==Game appearances==
===Final Fantasy XIII===
"Eternal Love (Short Version)" plays during the festival when Snow and Serah fly into the fireworks show. It is the 16th track of the original soundtrack's first disc.
The western version on PS3 and Xbox 360 uses "Serah's Theme" in its place. All versions of the PC port play "Eternal Love" in the cutscene if the player is using the Japanese language settings.
After Serah accepts Snow's marriage proposal, they take an airbike for a closer look at the fireworks, with Snow revealing the fireworks granted his wish for her to accept. He takes Serah into the dome containing the fireworks, but as they're about to kiss, the fireworks force Snow to steer them back outside, where they laugh off the close call. They kiss before Serah breaks down crying, still worried about the future as she has become a l'Cie, and Snow flies them away.
