Can you celebrate?
Can you kiss me tonight?
We will love long long time

永遠ていう言葉なんて 知らなかったよね
(Can you celebrate? can you kiss me tonight?)
(We will love long long time)
二人きりだね 今夜からは少し照れるよね

La la la la la la

永く 永く いつも見守っていてくれる誰かを
探して見つけて 失ってまた探して
遠かった怖かったでも 
時に素晴らしい夜もあった 笑顔もあった
どうしようもない 風に吹かれて
生きてる今 これでもまだ 悪くはないよね

La la la la la la
甘く切ない 若くて幼い
愛情ふり返れば けっこう可愛いね

間違いだらけの道順
なにかに逆らって走った
誰かが 教えてくれた

(Can you celebrate? can you kiss me tonight?)
(We will love long long time)
Wo 想い出から ほんの少し 抜け出せずに
たたずんでる 訳もなくて
涙あふれ 笑顔こぼれてる

(Can you hold me tight? let's a party time tonight)
(Say good bye my lonely)
永遠ていう 言葉なんて(heart say hello)
知らなかったよね (forever)

Can you celebrate?
Can you kiss me tonight?
We will love (long long time)
二人きりだね 今夜からはどうぞよろしくね
Can you celebrate?
Can you kiss me tonight?
I can celebrate
