時間   を   忘れる      ように 
Jikan wo wasuresu youni
As if to forget the time
窓       の シェイド 羽      を   傾け
Mado no shade  hane wo katamuke
you tilted the window shade
腕     を   組んだ  細い   肩    に 
Ude wo kunda hosoi kata ni
As your fragile shoulders faced the window with your arms crossed, 
長い      髪    が  震えて   いた
Nagai kami ga furuete ita
your long hair kept shivering

もう   一度     だけ    夜   を   止めて 
Mou ichido dake yoru wo tomete
Just one more time, please stop the night
あの 日  を  このまま      抱きしめたい 
Ano hi wo konomama dakishimetai
I wish I could hold on to that day

これ   以上   愛し合って も 
Kore ijyou aishiatte  mo
Even if we keep loving each other, 
二人     同じ     夢    が  見れない
Futari onaji yume ga mirenai
we can no longer have the same dream
知らぬ      間  に すれ違って       いた 
Shiranu aida ni surechigatte ita
Without knowing, our path started to differ
甘い   記憶  に  何か     が  こぼれて   いく 
Amai kioku ni nanika ga koborete iku
Something is running out through sweet memories 

もう   一度    だけ   夜     を  止めて 
Mou ichido dake yoru wo tomete
Just one more time, please stop the night
何      も  言わず に 口づけ       たい
Nani mo iwazu ni kuchizuke tai
I wish I could kiss you without words
頬      に  落ちた  その    涙 
Hoho ni ochita sono namida
That tears running through your cheek
思い出    だけ   では   悲し        すぎる  ね
Omoide dake dewa kanashi sugiru ne
It is too sad to have only the memories

過ぎた  日々 は  ナイフ の ように
Sugita hibi wa knife no youni
Those past days are hurting me like a knife
美しい          ほど   傷つける      もの   さ 
Utsukushii hodo kizutukeru mono sa
The more beautiful it is, the more painful it is

もう   一度    だけ   夜     を  止めて 
Mou ichido dake yoru wo tomete
Just one more time, please stop the night
あの 日  を  このまま      抱きしめたい 
Ano hi wo konomama dakishimetai
I wish I could hold on to that day
見つめ    合った その   瞳 
Mitsume atta sono hitomi
As I looked into your eyes,
無理 に  微笑んだ     君   は  やさしい  
Muri ni hohoenda kimi wa yasashii
your forced smile revealed your gentleness

もう   一度    だけ   夜     を  止めて 
Mou ichido dake yoru wo tomete
Just one more time, please stop the night
あの 日  を  このまま      抱きしめたい 
Ano hi wo konomama dakishimetai
I wish I could hold on to that day
重い     ドア  を   そっと  閉めて 
Omoi door wo sotto shimete
Close the heavy door gently
僕       の 影      を  愛 で  消して
Boku no kage wo ai de keshite
and erase my shadow with love
