Original/Romaji Lyrics

 * Ima mo oboete iru no
 * Anata tabidatsu hi ni mita yume wo
 * Namida tsutau anata no hoho
 * Te wo nobasu to yami no naka kieta


 * Futo me wo samasu
 * Madoromi sashikomu genjitsu
 * Akaku somaru hito no naka anata mitsuketa


 * Ima wa wakatte'ru kara
 * Futari kawashita yakusoku no imi wo
 * Hikaru hakanai nagareboshi
 * Tooi sora de miagete hohoemu


 * Hitomi ga yureru tabi ni omoidasu no
 * Anata no me mitsumete mo haruka kanata mite


 * Ima wa wakatte'ru kara
 * Futari kawashita yakusoku no imi wo
 * Hikaru hakanai nagareboshi
 * Tooi sora de miagete hohoemu


 * Ima wa wakatte'ru kara
 * Ano hi kawashita yakusoku no imi wo
 * Hikaru hakanai nagareboshi
 * Tooi sora de miagete hohoemu

Rough English Translation

 * Even now I remember
 * The dream I had on the day you left
 * When I reached for your tear-streaked cheek
 * It vanished into the darkness


 * I suddenly awaken
 * As reality inserts on my reverie
 * I found you within a crimson-stained man


 * Because I now understand
 * The meaning of the promise we exchanged
 * I look up at the fleeting shooting star
 * Shining in the distant sky and smile


 * Whenever my eyes waver, I remember that
 * Though I gazed into your eyes, I was looking from afar


 * Because I now understand
 * The meaning of the promise we exchanged
 * I look up at the fleeting shooting star
 * Shining in the distant sky and smile


 * Because I now understand
 * The meaning of the promise we exchanged that day
 * I look up at the fleeting shooting star
 * Shining in the distant sky and smile
