lyrics

響く 夕方の チャイム (Hibiku Yuugata no Chaimu)
もう 誰もいない 広場 (Mo dalemo inai hiroba)
私だけが思い出の中に (Watashi dakega omoide no nakani)
一人残されたみたい ふいに (Hitoli nokosareta mitai, Fuini)

全て落ちた銀の砂 (Subete Ochita gin no suna)
紡いだ 陽だまりの場所 (Tsumuida Hidamari no basho)

交わす挨拶 混じる フレーズ (Kawasu aisatsu Majilu fulaze)
今になれば まぶしくて (Ima ni Naleba Mabushikute)
Lalala Lalalala 過ぎてゆく大好きな日 (Sugite yuku Daisuki na hi)
Lalala Lalalala ただ黙って手を振るの (Tada damatte te wo fuluno)

つかむ 旅立ちの 合図 (Tsukamu tabidachi no aizu)
変わる町並みと 夜空 (Kawalu machinami to yozola)
さよならは重ねたけど、私 (Sayonala wa kasaneta kedo watashi)
約束は果たせたかな やっと (Yakusoku wa hatasetakana, Yatto)

覚えた この風の匂い (Oboeta kono kaze no nioi)
通いなれた 秘密基地 (Kayoi naleta Himitsu kichi)
消えてゆく夕日 見つめたまま (Kiete yuku yuuhi mitsumeta mama)
どうしても 離せなくて (Doushitemo Hanase nakute)

Lalala Lalalala 過ぎてゆく大好きな日 (Sugite yuku daisukinahi)
Lalala Lalalala ただ笑って手を振るの (Tada walatte te wo fuluno)

たたずむ 夏のDay Dream (Tatazumu natsu no Day dream)
見上げる 冬のPaper moon (Miagelu Fuyu no Paper moon)
響いて 散り行くNight and Day (Hibiite Chiliyuku Night and Day)
次に 会うときまでの さよなら (Tsugini autokimadeno sayonala)

Lalala Lalalala この夜が明ける前に (Kono yolu ga akelu mae ni)
Lalala Lalalala この朝日昇る前に (Kono asahi nobolu mae ni)
Lalala Lalalala この木々が実る前に (Kono kigi ga minolu mae ni)
Lalala Lalalala この風が変わる前に (Kono kaze ga kawalu mae ni)
Lalala Lalalala…
************
The evening bell rung (as the sign of “every kids have to go back to their home”)
No one's there in the playground
Then I tend to feel like that I was the only one who were left in the memory

Suddenly,
the sand in the hourglass has already gone down.
I have already had many place and people that I am familiar with
The momentus of saying “hi” and “how’s it going?”
I realized I am missing those so much.

(Lalala Lalalala) My favourite days have just gone
(Lalala Lalalala) The only thing that I could do is waving my hand to those.

I have got the sign of that the time comes and I will have to go soon
The skylines of the town which I am familiar with are changing, so the night view is.
I have already said “goodbye” many times,
but I am wondering if I could fulfil a promise?

Finally,
I have remembered the scent of the wind in this town.
I have already had my secret base with my friends
Somehow I could not leave my eyes off from the sunset.

(Lalala Lalalala) My favourite days have just gone
(Lalala Lalalala) The only thing that I could do is waving my hand to those with smiling

The day dream I had during summer,
The paper moon I looked up at the night in the winter,
I enjoy everything night and day, and I know how I will miss those.
Goodbye just for now with my wish of meeting again.

(Lalala Lalalala) I have to go before the end of this night
(Lalala Lalalala) I have to go before sun dawn
(Lalala Lalalala) I have to go before this tree is blooming
(Lalala Lalalala) I have to go before the scent of this wind is changed
