Once

Composition: Shimizu Takehito
Arrangement: Komori Shigeo
So please don’t go; I still haven’t forgotten about
the thought of a future without me from that single moment
On that day, I gripped those words deep in my heart
That single utterance changed my tomorrow
I’m dreaming
I wonder if that dream is mine alone
You’re looking at the sky
That sky is yours alone
If there’s just one thing, just one thing
that’s important to you in your heart
Then you can overcome the long nights and grief, right?
The dream I only exchanged with you
for just once is my everything
Staking my life, I want to protect you
Now I’ll call this feeling I think strongly of
‘love’
If I can encounter just a single person
Then I should be able to live on with that memory
I want to sing for you
So I found a tender song
Because I just want to see
that rainbow-like smile of yours
If they’re alone, if they’re alone
If all people are born alone
Then even loneliness is a precious friend
But if I’m with you, if I’m with you
If you shed tears
I’ll be by your side
If we can hold our hands together, warmth will travel between them
At that moment, hope arises in my chest
Even if you try to seek for it in abundance
It just falls from your fingers
Held by thousands of stars
Surely we can give it to each other, right?
Please don’t cry, please don’t cry
Because I’ll protect you now
The surging sadness closes in on us, but–
If there’s just one thing, just one thing
that’s important to you in your heart
Then you can overcome the long nights and grief, right?
The dream I only exchanged with you
for just once is my everything
Staking my life, I want to protect you
Now I’ll call this feeling I think strongly of
‘love’

Dakara ikanaide boku no inai mirai
Ano isshun no omoi o mada wasurenai
Ano hi mune no oku nigirishimeta kotoba
Ano hitogoto ga ashita o kaete kuretan da ne
Boku wa yume o miteru
Sore wa boku dake no yume kana
Kimi wa sora o miteru
Sore wa kimi dake no sora
Hitotsu dake hitotsu dake
Taisetsu na mono mune ni areba
Nagai yoru mo nageki mo koerareru darou
Ichido dake kimi to dake
Kawashita yume ga boku no subete
Inochi o kake kimi o mamoritai
Tsuyoku omou konna kimochi o
Ima ai to yobou
Tatta hitori dake meguriaeta nara
Sono kioku to issho ni ikite yukeru hazu sa
Utatte agetai na
Yasashii uta o mitsuketa
Kimi no niji no you na egao ga
Tada mitai kara
Hitori nara hitori nara
Dare mo ga hitori umareru nara
Kodoku datte daiji na tomodachi da kedo
Kimi to nara kimi to nara
Kimi ga namida o nagasu nara
Soba ni iru yo
Te o kasanereba tsutawaru nukumori
Sono toki mune ni kibou ga hajimaru
Afureru hodo motomete mite mo
Sono yubi kara koboreochiteku dake
Ikusen no hoshi ni dakarete bokura
Kitto ataeaeru darou
Nakanaide nakanaide
Ima boku ga kimi o mamoru kara
Uneru you na kanashimi oshiyoseru kedo
Hitotsu dake hitotsu dake
Taisetsu na mono mune ni areba
Nagai yoru mo nageki mo koerareru darou
Ichido dake kimi to dake
Kawashita yume ga boku no subete
Inochi o kake kimi o mamoritai
Tsuyoku omou konna kimochi o
Ima ai to yobou
I always thought this felt more like something Mizuki Nana would sing. The style and voice is similar.
