The sound of silence cuts through me
In my empty, solitary room
Everything there is in my heart—
You’re aware of them all, aren’t you?
I whispered in my small
Slightly trembling voice
Everything there is in my heart—
You can see them all, can’t you?
When did time pass by so fast?
I did know, though
That the seasons would just repeat themselves
So much did I wish for you to stay by my side
That buttercup flowers have bloomed in my heart
Aah, how did I manage to get through
This ever-changing sadness?
I had to keep telling myself that I don’t feel any loneliness
So that I can go on, even with all the turmoil in my heart
White wings are sprouting
On all the useless things I cherish
I’ll steel myself and throw them out now
For I know another tomorrow will come
I’ve been looking at the night sky
From my empty, solitary room
Everything there is in my heart—
You can see them all, can’t you?
I knew very well
That there’s no turning back time
But if I can remain unchanged
Then I hope the buttercup flowers were still in all their glory
Even during those days I spent in tears
Aah, what should I do
With these tears streaming down my cheeks?
All I can do is to repeat to myself those all too common words
So that I won’t forget them, even when we’re apart
A sweet magic is being cast
Upon the lonesome street light
I’ll give it a try and open up my timid heart
For I know another tomorrow will come
When did time pass by so fast?
I did know it’d be this way, though
But if wishes did come true
Then I’d wish to be forever by your side
I shall no longer be frightened
Of that one single piece of happiness
Aah, when did I finally notice
The ringing sound of blessing?
I’m fumbling along the glistening road after the rain
So that I can keep moving forward
The vague anxiety I felt is dissipating
Into this brand new world
So let me change out of these grimy clothes
For I know I won’t be all by myself tomorrow
