遠く遠く この空のどこかに 君はいるんだろう 夏の終わりに人で抜け出した この公園で見つけた あの星座 何だか 覚えてる? 会えなくても 記憶をたどって 同じ幸せを見たいんだ 行きたいよ 君のところへ 今すぐ かけだして 行きたいよ あの道まで 響く 靴の音が耳に残る 行きたいよ 君のそばに 小さくても小さくても 会えなくても 記憶をたどって 同じ幸せを見たいんだ 行きたいよ 君のところへ 小さな手をにぎりしめて
Yuutsukuyo kaodasu kieteku kodomo no koe Aenakutemo kioku wo tadotte onaji shiawase wo mitai nda Ikitai yo kimi no tokoro e ima sugu kakedashite ikitai yo Ano michi made hibiku kutsu no ne ga mimi ni nokoru Ikitai yo kimi no soba ni chiisakutemo chiisakutemo Aenakutemo kioku wo tadotte onaji shiawase wo mitai nda Ikitai yo kimi no tokoro he chiisana te wo nigirishimete |
