Time goes by
Wow wow wow...
Kitto kitto daremo ga
Nanika tarinai mono wo
Muri ni kitai shisugite
Hito wo kizu tsukete iru
Wow wow wow...
Aeba kenka shiteta ne
Nagaku isugita no kana
Iji wo hareba naosara
Sukima hirogaru bakari
Kiss wo shitari dakiattari
Tabun sore de yokatta
Atarimae no ai shikata mo
Zutto wasurete ita ne
Shinjiaeru yorokobi mo
Kizutsukeau kanashimi mo
Itsuka ari no mama ni
Ai seru you ni
Time goes by...
Tsugou warui toki ni wa

Yasuragi toka shinjitsu toka
Itsumo motometeta kedo
Kotoba no you ni kantan ni wa

"Arigatou" ga ieru
Toki ga kuru made
Say goodbye...

Time goes by...
Wow wow wow...
Time goes by
Wow wow wow...
Surely, surely everyone has
Things that aren’t enough
But if we hold out too much hope
We hurt people
Wow wow wow...
We fought whenever we met, didn’t we?
Did we stay together too long?
Neither of us would give in
And so the gap between us kept growing
Kissing and holding each other
That was probably all we needed
We’d forgotten all the basics
Of loving someone
The joy of believing in each other
And the pain of hurting each other
I hope someday
We can love each other as we are
Time goes by...
We always made excuses
When something didn’t suit us
Yeah, that’s something
We had in common
We always longed
For comfort and honesty
But we couldn't
Put it into words easily
Remember one more time
How we loved each other back then
Until the time comes
When we can say thank you
Say goodbye...
In the instant
That the scars that remain disappear
I'll surely know the meaning
Of true tenderness
Unable to turn our backs on the days that had passed
We felt time go by slowly
I hope someday
We can meet again with a smile
Time goes by...
Wow wow wow...
