思い出すのは

出会った日のこと

誰の元にも帰れないボクを

見つけ出してくれた

救い出してくれた

忘れることない君の笑顔

暮らしのすきま

よふけの祈り

いつでも君と共に歩いてきたキセキ

つらいことも

うれしいことも

分かち合えるそんな

日々よ

ふりかえれば数え切れない

思い出があふれ出してくる

だれにも見えないところで

がんばってる

君のそばにいられること

それだけで

こんなにほら幸せなんだよ

こみ上げてくる

想いはただ

ありがとう

訪れた

よろこびの春は

旅立ちの季節

はなれた街にも

連れ出してくれたね

ひとり不安な日々に

さみしそうな君に

送るエール

ボクがついてるよ

楽しいことばかりじゃない日常に

あふれだした君の涙

それでも

前を向いて歩いて

そうやって大人になってく

君のそばにいられること

君のよろこびは

ボクのよろこびで

君の大切が幸せが

いつまでも君とありますように

ねえ

君のそばにはもう

たくさんの愛があふれてる

だから今は

どうか泣かないで

あの日のように笑顔で

ふりかえればいくつもの

思い出がよみがえってくる

だれにも見えないところで

流した涙もほら

今の君につながってる

たくさんの愛につながってる

こみ上げてくる

想いはただ

ありがとう

いつまでも

幸せで

いつまでも

愛してるよ

I remember the first time I met you.

When I had nobody to go home to,

It was you who brought me home.

You, who rescued me

You, with your unforgettable smile.

The daily breaks,

A late-night prayer,

And the miracles that are always with you.

Through the painful times

And the joyful times, too

We shared those daily moments.

Looking back, countless

Memories of us overflow

Where no one else can see us

Working hard.

Those moments beside you,

Those moments alone with you,

I’m filled with so much happiness.

These joyful feelings fill my heart.

Thank you!

It arrived.

I’m excited because we travel in the springtime.

You brought me to that distant town, right?

Those lonely days on your own,

Even with that sad look on your face,

I’ll cheer you on!

You can bring me with you!

It’s not always fun and games in our daily lives.

Your tears flowed.

But despite this,

You looked ahead and you kept walking.

That’s how you grow up!

Just being close to you,

Your joy is my joy.

I hope the things you treasure

Will stay by your side.

I hope you’re happy forever.

Look,

Now by your side,

I’m overflowing with love.

Like I said before,

Please don’t cry,

Smile like you did the first time I met you.

If you look back,

Countless memories return

Where no one can see.

The tears you shed,

Are linked to who you are now.

I’m connected to you now.

We’re connected by so much love.

The feelings surging up inside me say

“Thank you.”

Forever

Blissfully

For all time

I love you!
