BALLAD

Lyrics: ayumi hamasaki
Music: D･A･I
Arrangement: Yuuta Nakano

I woke up in the middle of a dream, and my eyelashes were wet
The words I remembered are "Please don't go"

What will never change are these increasing feelings
What will never sway are these feelings of respect and longing

Today's sky at sunset was gentle just like you
I shouted that it wasn't a dream this time. "Please don't go"

Though my memories don't disappear, they don't increase either
The words I'm allowed to say are "Please stay by my side"

I'm sure I can't keep on any longer with bluffs alone
I can't get rid of my love just by being held down

Tonight's moonlight is a guidepost that you gave me
Your back is too far and I can no longer see it. "Stay by me"

Today's sky at sunset was gentle just like you
I shouted that it wasn't a dream this time. "Please don't go"

Tonight's moonlight is a guidepost that you gave me
Your back is too far and I can no longer see it. "Stay by me"

Hey, allow it just for now

Yume no tochuu de mezameta matsuge ga nurete ita
Oboeteta kotoba wa "Onegai ikanai de"

Kesshite kawaranai nowa tsunotte yuku kono omoi
Itsumo yuruganai nowa uyamai shitau kimochi

Kyou no yuuyake sora wa anata no you ni yasashikute
Kondo wa yume ja nai to sakebimashita "Ikanai de"

Omoide wa kienu domo fueyuku koto mo naku
Yurusareru kotoba wa "Onegai soba ni ite"

Kitto tsuyogari dake dewa mou kore ijou motanai
Osaekomareru dake dewa ai wo nakuse ya shinai

Koyoi no tsuki no akari wa anata no kureta michishirube
Too sugite sono se ga mou mienai no "Soba ni ite"

Kyou no yuuyake sora wa anata no you ni yasashikute
Kondo wa yume ja nai to sakebimashita "Ikanai de"

Koyoi no tsuki no akari wa anata no kureta michishirube
Too sugite sono se ga mou mienai no "Soba ni ite"

Ima dake wa nee yurushite
