Trace

You were in the gaps of the night
I heard a voice calling your name
I can remember it over and over
You were right here, right here with me

Yes, from my heart to my fingertips
I want to touch you
I want to protect you, be by your side

Until the day we meet again, though I have no destination
I was tracing those footprints again

More than anyone else, so I can tell you
Anywhere, so you can see
The light I've kept lit even on rainy days
Someday, to clear away the darkness
So that my hand reaches you
Without putting it into words

I realized after going the long way around
The time spent with you
Is like an unfading bouquet
Continuing to bloom inside my heart

I pretend I'm not lonely, but
Every time I breathe, I think of you, I want to see you

More than anyone else, so I can tell you
Anywhere, so you can see
A gentle flame I'll keep guarding without letting it go out
Even if I get lost on the road
Remember that you are not alone

(When the night comes, in the darkness) I'll be by your side
(I'll be your light, I'll be your eyes)
(I'll never leave you, I will guide you) all our tears'll fade away
(I follow your trace, I follow your trace)

(When the night comes, in the darkness) run to my arms and stay
(I'll be your light, I'll be your eyes) stay
(I'll never leave you, I will guide you)
(I follow your trace) now

More than anyone else, so I can tell you
Anywhere, so you can see
The light I've kept lit even on rainy days
Someday, to clear away the darkness
So that my hand reaches you
Without putting it into words

Yoru no sukima ni anata ga ita
Namae o yonda koe ga shita
Omoidaseru nando datte
You were right here, right here with me

Sou, shinzou kara yubisaki made
Anata ni furetai
Mamoritai tonari ni itai

Mata au hi made nante iku ate mo nai kedo
Sono ashiato o mata tadotte ita

Dare yori mo anata ni ieru you ni
Doko demo anata ni mieru you ni
Ame no hi mo zutto tomoshiteta hikari o
Itsuka wa yami o harasu you ni
Anata ni kono te todoku you ni
Kotoba ni shinaide oite

Toomawari shite ki ga tsuita
Anata to sugoshita jikan wa
Marude karenai hanataba de
Kokoro no naka sakitsuzukeru

Sabishikunai nante tsuyogatte shimau kedo
Iki suru tabi omou aitai yo

Dare yori mo anata ni ieru you ni
Doko demo anata ni mieru you ni
Yasashii hi zutto tayasazu ni mamoru yo
Tatoeba michi ni mayoou tomo
Anata wa hitori janai koto
Kanarazu oboete oite

(When the night comes, in the darkness) I'll be by your side
(I'll be your light, I'll be your eyes)
(I'll never leave you, I will guide you) all our tears'll fade away
(I follow your trace, I follow your trace)

(When the night comes, in the darkness) run to my arms and stay
(I'll be your light, I'll be your eyes) stay
(I'll never leave you, I will guide you)
(I follow your trace) now

Dare yori mo anata ni ieru you ni
Doko demo anata ni mieru you ni
Ame no hi mo zutto tomoshiteta hikari o
Itsuka wa yami o harasu you ni
Anata ni kono te todoku you ni
Kotoba ni shinaide oite
