---English Lyrics---

White curtains sway back and forth
I kept watching your quiet face
Every time you smiled and said, “I’m okay”
My words stopped right there

In that white room, afternoon light
Beyond the window, spring was melting free
“When the flowers bloom, let’s go,” you said
And gently narrowed your eyes

Each time I counted the days we had left
Only time kept rushing on ahead
Even the warmth within our joined hands
Felt like it might slip away

The “goodbye” I never could say
Was blurring deep inside my chest
I told myself I’d smile at the end
But I couldn’t do it

Even this year, flowers still bloom
But you are the only one not here
The place we promised remains the same
Still trembling just like that day
At the tip of the hand I reached out
Only your warmth kept fading away
And still within my heart
The memory of you goes on blooming

Through sleepless nights, your fingers
Kept searching softly for my sleeve
Each time I wrapped that little hand in mine
I looked away, afraid you’d disappear

You kept saying, “Thank you”
With that hoarse and gentle voice
I could do nothing but nod
And force a smile in front of you

Each time the morning came again
Something ended, little by little
I learned that the tomorrow
I thought was always there
Was nowhere to be found

The last thing you were looking at
Was the spring sky blurred in the window
The sound of you calling my name
Still hasn’t left my ears

Even this year, flowers still bloom
But you are the only one not here
The place we promised remains the same
Still trembling just like that day
At the tip of the hand I reached out
Only your warmth kept fading away
And still within my heart
The memory of you goes on blooming

Holding on to that one promise
All I could do was see you off
That smile you gave me in the end
Was painfully, beautifully kind

“Please keep living” — that wish of yours
Still won’t come undone inside my heart
Beyond my tears, it keeps on blooming
That season I had with you
Still held within my arms

Even this year, flowers still bloom
But you are the only one not here
The place we promised remains the same
Still trembling just like that day
At the tip of the hand I reached out
Only your warmth kept fading away
And still within my heart
The memory of you goes on blooming

Even this year, flowers still bloom
But you are the only one not here
Thinking of you
I keep walking toward tomorrow


白いカーテン　揺れるたび
静かな横顔　見ていた
「大丈夫だよ」と笑うたび
言葉はそこで　止まってた

白い部屋に　午後の光
窓の向こうに　春がほどける
「花が咲いたら行こうね」と
君は静かに　目を細めた

残された日々を　数えるたび
時間だけが　先を急いで
重ねた手のぬくもりさえ
こぼれてしまいそうで

言えないままの「さよなら」が
胸の奥で　滲んでいた
せめて最後は笑おうと
決めたのに　できなかった

今年も花は咲くのに　君だけがいない
約束の場所は　あの日のままで揺れている
伸ばした指の先　ぬくもりだけほどけてく
それでも胸に　君の面影が咲いている

眠れない夜　君の指が
僕の袖をただ　探してた
その小さな手を包むたび
消えそうで　目をそらした

「ありがとう」と繰り返す
かすれた声の　やさしさに
うなずくことしかできず
笑ってみせた　君の前で

朝を迎える　そのたびに
何かひとつ　終わっていった
当たり前だった明日なんて
どこにもないと知った

最後に君が見ていた
窓ににじんだ　春の空
僕の名前を呼ぶ声が
今も耳を離れない

今年も花は咲くのに　君だけがいない
約束の場所は　あの日のままで揺れている
伸ばした指の先　ぬくもりだけほどけてく
それでも胸に　君の面影が咲いている

約束ひとつ　抱えたまま
君を見送ることしかできず
最後にくれたあの笑顔
悲しいほど　やさしくて

「ちゃんと生きて」その願い
まだ胸の奥　ほどけない
涙の向こう　咲き続ける
君との季節　抱いたまま

今年も花は咲くのに　君だけがいない
約束の場所は　あの日のままで揺れている
伸ばした指の先　ぬくもりだけほどけてく
それでも胸に　君の面影が咲いている

今年も花は咲くのに　君だけがいない
僕は君を想いながら　明日へ歩いていく
