Japanese	Romaji	English
シーツ越し　淡い光が	shiitsugoshi awai hikari ga	The faint light across the sheets
ぼくの視界を染める	boku no shikai o someru	stains my field of view.
目を閉じれば	me o tojireba	If I close my eyes,
感じるのはきみの熱と	kanjiru no wa kimi no netsu to	what I sense is your warmth
薄らいでく	usuraideku	and waves
ぼんやりした　思考の波	bon'yari shita shikou no nami	of vague, fading thoughts.
「いつも側にいられますように。」	"itsumo soba ni iraremasu you ni."	"May I always get to be by your side."
そんな　ぼくの	sonna boku no	May that tiniest
ほんの小さな夢よ	honno chiisana yume yo	dream of mine
永遠に続きますように	eien ni tsuzukimasu you ni	continue eternally.
願いを	negai o	Dissolving,
溶かして　溶かして	tokashite tokashite	dissolving my wish,
意識は白に消える	ishiki wa shiro ni kieru	my consciousness fades into white.
ガラス越し　月の光が	garasugoshi tsuki no hikari ga	The light of the moon through the window
一人の夜を照らす	hitori no yoru o terasu	illuminates my lonely night.
目を閉じれば	me o tojireba	If I close my eyes,
思い出すよ君の声を	omoidasu yo kimi no koe o	I remember your voice.
空いた隙間を　埋められず	aita sukima o umerarezu	Again today I sleep
今日もまた眠る	kyou mo mata nemuru	with the empty space in me unfilled.
「いつも側にいられますように。」	"itsumo soba ni iraremasu you ni."	"May I always get to be by your side."
そんな　君の	sonna kimi no	That tiniest
ほんの小さな夢は	honno chiisana yume wa	dream of yours
夜空の星へ消えてった	yozora no hoshi e kietetta	vanished into the stars of the night sky.
痛みを	itami o	Melting,
溶かして　溶かして	tokashite tokashite	melting the pain,
涙は黒に沈む	namida wa kuro ni shizumu	my tears sink into the black.
「いつも側にいられますように。」	"itsumo soba ni iraremasu you ni."	"May I always get to be by your side."
そんな君の	sonna kimi no	That single
たった一つの夢は	tatta hitotsu no yume wa	dream of yours
仄かな光に変わって	honoka na hikari ni kawatte	turns into the faintest light,
願いを	negai o	and igniting,
灯して　灯して	tomoshite tomoshite	igniting my wish,
朝焼け雲に消える	asayake kumo ni kieru	disappears into the clouds lit by the glow of morning.
