Posted in ayumi hamasaki, lyrics
from Feel the love / Merry-go-round single + CoLOURS album.
——
Feel the love…
You and me…
Night ‘n’ day…
Feel the love, feel the love – we can dance all night
Feel the love, feel the love – we can dance all night
At the next turn around the corner
I have decided to smile wide
Even though there are things
Which hurt my heart and threaten to break me
Trying to follow my thundering heartbeat
Why can’t the present be the most precious time?
Feel the love, feel the love – we can dance all night
Feel the love, feel the love – we can dance all night
You and me, you and me – we can feel the love tonight
You and me, you and me – we can feel the love tonight
“Though I won’t say “I told you so”
Isn’t it time to cultivate a discerning eye?”
I hear that so much, but in reality
What is true love?
Is there anyone who hasn’t gone astray?
Because we still have memories as records of our past
Feel the love, feel the love – we can dance all night
Feel the love, feel the love – we can dance all night
Night ‘n’ day, night and day – I’ll be searchin’ for my love
Night ‘n’ day, night and day – I’ll be searchin’ for my love
Feel the love…
You and me…
Night ‘n’ day…
Feel the love, feel the love – we can dance all night

Aside from the really precious things
If I could throw everything else away
That’ll be great
Because reality is just cruel
Whenever I feel this way
I just close my eyes
And you’re there, smiling
Ah- Until the day when
I fall into an eternal sleep
I wish that this smile
Never leaves your face
Maybe everyone is sad
Even though we’re forgetful creatures
For the sake of things I love
For the sake of things that love me
I’ll do what I can
Ah- That time when we first met
Everything was so awkward
We’ve gone the long way
And hurt each other
Ah- Until the day when
I fall into an eternal sleep
I wish that this smile
Never leaves your face
Ah- That time when we first met
Everything was so awkward
Even though we’ve gone the long way
We’ve finally reached here

Stay with me more
Make me believe more
Slightly insensible, and awkward
That’s what I like about you
But just sometimes, please be more aware
Of a girl’s heart
To stop acting tough and be more honest
It’s not easy for me to be that way, but
You are essential to me
That’s something that’ll surely remain unchanged
Gently whispering of
Gentle and strong love
Will it reach you?
Will it resonate in your heart?
Gently whispering of
Gentle and strong love. Someday
Maybe I’ll finally reach you
It’s ok if we take the long road
Because I know that we’ll understand each other
All the things you wish to say
I can more or less imagine them
Whenever talk moves to the crucial things
I’ll always change the topic
Even with all my might, I can’t step out
I mean, I’ve got all reason to be afraid
All considerations taken
Maybe being myself is not enough
Stay with me more
Make me believe more
Am I truly reflected
In your eyes?
Stay with me more
Make me believe more, I wish for that
Am I being too demanding?
Let’s not reaffirm ourselves anymore
Because I know that our feelings are the same
I don’t wish to change you
Because I’m still the same myself
But I think that we’re alright
Don’t you think that we’re alright?
Always stay with me
Always believe in me
Hey, gently whispering of
Gentle and strong love
Will it reach you?
Will it resonate in your heart?
Gently whispering of
Gentle and strong love. Someday
Maybe I’ll finally reach you
It’s ok if we take the long road
Because I know that we’ll understand each other

Come closer to me
Trust me more
Smiling with innocence, that face
Which I love so much had been
Shining with your tears just moments ago
I know that
“Show me your true self”
It’s not easy for me to say that, but
No matter what self you show to me
I’m confident that I can accept it
Hey, with a louder voice
Shouting a larger love, I want it to reach you
To resonate in your heart
With a louder voice
Shouting a larger love, if I can do it
Maybe I can reach you a little
It’s ok if we take the long road
Because I know that we’ll understand each other
(With a louder voice)
(Shouting a larger love)
(With a louder voice)
(Shouting a larger love)
All the things you wish to say
I can more or less imagine them
But just the thought of facing you
Makes me want to run away
If I say that I’m not afraid
Then I’ll truly be lying, but
All considerations taken
I’m prepared to take it all on
Hey, come closer to me
Trust me more
Can you hear the beating
Of my trembling heart?
Come closer to me
Trust me more, I wish for that
Pay attention with the ears of your heart
Let’s not reaffirm ourselves anymore
Because I know that our feelings are the same
We are not perfect
I mean, we are humans afterall
But I think that it’s alright
Because that’s what’s precious about us
(With a louder voice)
(Shouting a larger love)
(With a louder voice)
(Shouting a larger love)
(With a louder voice)
(Shouting a larger love)
(With a louder voice)
(Shouting a larger love)
Hey, with a louder voice
Shouting a larger love, I want it to reach you
To resonate in your heart
With a louder voice
Shouting a larger love, if I can do it
Maybe I can reach you a little
It’s ok if we take the long road
Because I know that we’ll understand each other

In the midst of our journeys
How many times do we notice the crossroads?
Then, how many times could we choose
Guided by the voices in our hearts?
The darkness called tomorrow which noone knows about
Beside you, I stretch out with all my might with this hand and swear
Flutter, flutter, flutter, flutter, like the falling of petals
My trembling, trembling, wavering heart stands proud
Sorrow for my own sake
Losing my own form
Believing in a scenery nobody has seen
Beside you, I pray for that place which doesn’t exist
Sparkling, sparkling, sparkling, sparkling, like the sunlight
Dizzying, dizzying, too dazzling, shine with light
The darkness called tomorrow which noone knows about
Beside you, I stretch out with all my might with this hand and swear
Flutter, flutter, flutter, flutter, like the falling of petals
My trembling, trembling, wavering heart stands proud
Sparkling, sparkling, sparkling, sparkling, like the sunlight
Dizzying, dizzying, too dazzling, shine with light
