~English Translation~



In the rays of sunlight, you were smiling

The puppy sleeping on your knee also looked peaceful...



A little book was spread in the palm of your hand

And you softly traced the words with a pretty finger



I thought that with that smile, anything could be saved

Underneath the limited sky, it vanished

The memory of you at that time

Inside of the dream I made, I saw it

That sky was, already...



In the transparent wind, though in vain, I held you close

Even now I can't let go of you

As you look back at me



Underneath the limited sky

I repeat softly whispered words

Inside of my closed off heart

Even now, you're smiling as you were at that time



With the voices of children echoing in the twilight

Your smile slowly vanishes away
