あなたは昔言いました
目覚めれば枕元には
ステキなプレゼントが
置いてあるよと
髪を撫でながら
相変わらずその背中は
小さく頼りなくて
だけど楽しい話しなら
笑い合えていた
それなのに人はどうして
同じような過ち
あと何度繰り返したら
後悔できるの
思い出している
葬ったハズの
いつかの夜
あなたは昔言いました
目覚めれば枕元には
ステキなプレゼントが
置いてあるよと
髪を撫でながら
私は期待に弾む胸
抱えながらも眠りにつきました
やがて訪れる夜明けを
心待ちにして
目覚めた私の枕元
大きなクマのぬいぐるみいました
隣りにいるはずのあなたの
姿と引き換えに
あなたは昔言いました
目覚めれば枕元には
ステキなプレゼントが
置いてあるよと
髪を撫でながら...
ENGLISH (Translation)
You once said long ago
While stroking my hair,
"When you wake up, there'll be
A nice present waiting for you
By your pillow."
You weren't always
There for me,
But we could laugh together
At funny stories.
But how can people regret
Mistakes that they keep making
Over and over again?
I remember now...
That night I thought
I had buried.
You once said, long ago
While stroking my hair,
"When you wake up there'll be
A nice present waiting for you
By your pillow."
I lay sleeping with my arms
Crossed around my chest,
Looking forward to the morning.
When I woke up, I found
By my pillow a teddy bear...
In place of you.
You once said, long ago
While stroking my hair,
"When you wake up there'll
Be a nice present waiting for
You by your pillow."
