天国にいちばん近い島

いつも私の事だけずっと
思っててくれなくていいの
自分の夢にすぐムキになる
そんなとこ好きだから とても
 
I Know You 恋した時みんな出会う
自分だけの神様
Love 平凡な Love ささやきが
あなたのくちびる 宝石に変える
 
Love Let's Stay Together
Love だれよりも
天国にあなた いちばん近い島
 
離れていても心配しない
ふたりには目印しが光る
オペラグラスをのぞく私を
見つけたらそっと手を振って
 
I Know You 心の海 渡る船が
迷わないようにと
Love 星が降る Love その場所に
甘いテレパシイ あなた導いて
 
Love Let's Stay Together
Love だれよりも
天国にあなた いちばん近い島
 
Love 単純な Love ほほえみが
あなたの瞳に 虹の輪を描くの
 
Love Let's Stay Together
Love だれよりも
天国にあなた いちばん近い島

The Island Closest To Heaven

You don't need to always...
...think for my sake
The you who get enthusiastic about his own dream...
...is the side of you that I like so much
 
(I know you🎵) When people fall in love, it'll feel like they meet...
...their celestial soulmate
The usual words of love, if they're whispered...
...from your lips, they will turned into jewels
 
Love, let's stay together
I want to be closer to you more than anyone else
In this island that's the closest to heaven
 
Even if we're apart, don't worry
The light within us will mark where we are
When I'm looking for you through the opera glass (*binocular)
If you see me, slowly wave your hand
 
(I know you🎵) When our ship sails through the sea of our hearts
So it won't get lost,
...the shooting star of love will fall to the designated location,
...guiding you with its sweet telepathy
 
Love, let's stay together
I want to be closer to you more than anyone else
In this island that's the closest to heaven
 
A simple smile with love
...will paint rainbows in your eyes
 
Love, let's stay together
I want to be closer to you more than anyone else
In this island that's the closest to heaven
