Romaji

Samui fuyu deatta toshiue no kare wa
Zutto wasurerarenai hajimete no boyfriend
Sono ookii senaka tsutsumikomu egao mo
Haru ni naru koro ni wa itsumo soba ni atta

Itsuka futari de kakiatta yume ga ima demo nokotteru
Dakedo sono saki no peeji wa tojita mama de

Saigo no tegami ni wa "tooku kara mimamoru yo"
Nattoku ikanakute nando mo denwa kaketa
Namida tomaranai yo imasugu aitai yo
Doko ga ikenakatta no? Konna ni suki na noni

Minareta yokogao nigirishimeta te mo
Imada ni kinou mitai ni omoidasu hi mo aru
Yorisotte hohoenda kiss shite dakiatta
Nani mo mienakute yume made wasureta yo

Itsumo kinenbi wa yasashii kotoba kaite kureta yo ne
Dakedo mou nido to ano hi ni wa modorenai ne

Saigo no tegami ni wa "tooku kara mimamoru yo"
Nattoku ikanakute nando mo denwa kaketa
Namida tomaranai yo imasugu aitai yo
Doko ga ikenakatta no? Konna ni suki na noni

Donna ni tsurakutemo mae wo mukanakucha
Kitto watashi ni wa yuku beki michi ga aru
Sou te ni ireru akirametakunai
Taisetsu na yume dakara someday

Saigo no tegami ni wa "tooku kara mimamoru yo"
Nattoku ikanakute nando mo denwa kaketa
Namida tomaranai yo imasugu aitai yo
Doko ga ikenakatta no? Konna ni suki na noni

Saigo no tegami ni wa "tooku kara mimamoru yo"
Ima wa mou nakanai kono uta todokeru kara
Sayonara ja nai hazu futari eranda michi
Mata itsuka aeru you ni jibun rashii egao de

English

I met him, an older guy, during a cold winter
He was my first boyfriend, who I’ll never forget
His big back, and his smile that enveloped me
By the time spring came we were always together

Even now, the dreams we wrote together one day remain
But the next pages remain closed

Your last letter said said “I’ll be watching you from far away”
I couldn’t accept it and called you again and again
I can’t stop crying, I want to see you right now
What was wrong with me? When I love you so much?

Your familiar profile, and your hand holding mine
I still remember like it was yesterday
We cuddled up, smiling, and kissed and held each other
I can’t see anything; I’ve even forgotten my dreams

You always wrote sweet words on our anniversary
But now we can never go back to those days

Your last letter said said “I’ll be watching you from far away”
I couldn’t accept it and called you again and again
I can’t stop crying, I want to see you right now
What was wrong with me? When I love you so much?

No matter how painful it is, I have to keep moving forward
There’s surely a road I should take
Yeah, I’ll get it, I won’t give up
Because this dream is precious, someday

Your last letter said said “I’ll be watching you from far away”
I couldn’t accept it and called you again and again
I can’t stop crying, I want to see you right now
What was wrong with me? When I love you so much?

Your last letter said said “I’ll be watching you from far away”
I won’t cry anymore now; I can give you this song
I’m sure it’s not goodbye; I’ll smile in my way
So that the paths we’ve chosen will meet again someday
