Lyrics
Kanji= もしも　あの日　空を見ずに 君とボクが話す　きっかけがなかったら 今も　退屈な教室で ため息ついて　いたのかな？

ここの空模様に　もう逢えなくなるけど ボクよ　また歩いても良いかい？

果てしない空へと　手を伸ばして 生まれた日から　きっと君を探していた 涙を失くした　ボクだけど 君に明かすよ“ホント　寂しかったんだ” 隣を歩く足音を　鳴らしていて　ダーリン

皆の　ボクを呼んでる声 貸してくれたセーター　ほのかな君の匂い 夢は　遠いままだけれど 見つめてるのは　ひとりじゃない

きっとね　すれ違って　ぶつかり合う日も来る 君よ　傷ついても良いかい？

ひとりじゃ見れない　夢を見て ボクは探してた　君とめぐり逢えたんだ 例えば　叶わない夢だって 描く理由は　振り返ればそこにある 隣を歩く足音を　鳴らしていて　ダーリン

君の肩越し　飛行機雲が やわらかく描かれる　美しい刹那 ちゃんと目を見て　言うと照れるけど “生まれて　めぐり逢ってくれて ホント ありがとう”

果てしない空へと　かざした手を 固く　つないで　ボクらは　今　歩き出す 何処でも　自由に　行けそうで 失くした涙　君となら取り戻せる 隣を歩く足音を　鳴らしていて　ダーリン

大好きだよ　ダーリン

English Translation= If that day we went without looking at the sky, I would have no chance to talk to you I am still in the boring classroom now With a sigh

The sky here says I will not be able to see you again Is it okay to keep walking?

Hands stretched out to the endless sky I was definitely looking for you from the day I was born I am out of tears, but I will reveal to you "I am really lonely" Your footsteps ringing next to me, darling

Voices cheering for me The sweater you lent me a has a faint smell of you Although my dream is far away I'm not seeing it alone

Surely the day will come when we meet each other again Are you fine with getting hurt?

A nightmare with no one in it I kept searching, then I met you If a dream does not come true The reason to draw is there when you look back Your footsteps ringing next to me, darling

The airplane trail over your shoulder Softly paints a beautiful moment Looking into your eyes, although I am shy "I was born to meet you, thank you!"

Hands stretched out to the endless sky Let's hold hands tight and walk together When I'm with you I can retrieve the tears I lost Your footsteps ringing next to me, darling

I really love you, darling!
