浜崎あゆみ (Ayumi Hamasaki):Dearest

hontou ni taisetsu na mono igai subete sutete
shimaetara ii no ni ne
genjitsu wa tada zankoku de

sonna toki itsu datte
me o tojireba
waratteru kimi ga iru

ahh itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made
dou ka sono egao ga
taema naku aru you ni

hito wa minna kanashii kara
wasureyuku ikimono dakedo

aisubeki mono no tame
ai o kureru mono no tame dekiru koto

ahh deatta ano koro wa
subete ga bukiyou de
toomawari shita yo ne
kizutsuke atta yo ne

ahh itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made
dou ka sono egao ga
taema naku aru you ni

ahh deatta ano koro wa
subete ga bukiyou de
toomawari shita kedo
tadoritsuitan da ne

It would be nice if we could put away and throw out
everything except what really mattered, but
reality is just cruel.

In such times,
I see you laughing
whenever I close my eyes.

Until the day I reach eternal sleep,
that smiling face will
have to stay with me without fail.

People are all sad, so
they continue to forget, but--

For that which I should love,
For that which gives me love, I will do what I can.

Back then, when we met,
it was all awkward.
We went the long way, didn't we?
We got hurt, didn't we?

Until the day I reach eternal sleep,
that smiling face will
have to stay with me without fail.

Back then, when we met,
it was all awkward.
We went the long way, but
We got there in the end.
