 Struggling with Dear? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

どうして私がこんな思いをするの?
あなたにぶつけた すごく寂しかったから

それでも私が風邪をひいた夜には
朝日が昇るまで そばにいてくれたね

愛することを教えてくれたのは
あの日のあなたでした

あなたに名前を呼んで欲しくて
はじめて声を上げ泣いたよ
あなたにもらった全てのものが
愛だと気づいたから

手と手繋いであなたと歩いた道
二人の笑顔がふいに浮かんで消える

夕日に染まる空 凪いだ海の水面も
あなたの隣ならもっと綺麗なのにね

全てのものを照らしてくれたのは
いつでもあなたでした

ごめんね ありがとう 言えないままに
言葉はかすれ涙になる
あなたに会いたい 会って言いたい
誰より愛してると

知りたくも無い真実でさえ
時に知ってしまうけど
心の中にあなたがいれば
歩き続けていける

あなたに名前を呼んで欲しくて
はじめて声を上げ泣いたよ
あなたにもらった全てのものが
愛だと気づいたから

ごめんね ありがとう 言えないままに
言葉は涙へ変わって
命がめぐってまた会う日まで
あなたがくれた愛を
永遠に抱き続ける
