A Place That No Longer Exists

A thousand dreams we couldn't name.
The sunlight resting on the floor,
The sound of footsteps by the door.

I never knew those days would end,
Or every stranger could be a friend.
I thought the world would always stay,
Exactly as it was that day.

But seasons turn and rivers run,
And even stars forget the sun.
I reach for something in the air,
A fleeting moment that isn't there.

Take me back to yesterday,
Before the colors turned to gray.
Where every road went on forever,
And nothing had to last forever.

If I could see that sky once more,
I'd ask for nothing, nothing more.
But time has taken what it gave,
And left these memories for me to save.

Somewhere, a window holds the light,
Somewhere, a song returns at night.
A thousand faces pass me by,
Like distant stars across the sky.

And there are words I never said,
And paths that live inside my head.
Not every dream was meant to stay,
Not every heart can find its way.

Still, I can hear the echoes call,
Of everything, of one and all.
And though the years have pulled apart,
Some places never leave the heart.

Take me back to yesterday,
Before the colors turned to gray.
Where every road went on forever,
And nothing had to last forever.

If I could see that sky once more,
I'd ask for nothing, nothing more.
But time has taken what it gave,
And left these memories for me to save.

Perhaps the beauty was never in staying,
Perhaps it was always in the passing.
A moment doesn't need eternity,
To mean everything to me.

I cannot keep the falling rain,
Or walk those old streets once again.
But somewhere deep inside I know,
I was alive there, long ago.

あの日の空を覚えている
(I remember the sky of that day.)

戻れなくても、忘れない
(Even if I cannot return, I won't forget.)

And if the years should take it all,
The names, the places, every wall,
I'll keep the light that once was there,
A little piece of everywhere.

Let the violins rise!
Let the heavens cry!
Let every memory come alive!

For even things that disappear,
Can leave a beauty that stays here!

TAKE ME BACK TO YESTERDAY!

To every dream that slipped away!

I cannot turn the hands of time,
But I can keep what once was mine.

And if tomorrow takes me far,
I'll carry every fading star.

For even when the past is gone,
Its melody keeps playing on!

Somewhere...
Beyond the years...

There is a place...

Where we were still there.
