初めて会った日を 今も覚えている?
照れたように君はうつむいて
目を反らしてばかりだったね

その仕草をとても 愛しく思うように
なったのはいつの頃だったかな
なんだか懐かしいね

やがていくつもの季節が
僕達の前を 足早に通り抜けた

白い雪が街を染める頃にも 君の側にいさせて
私これからも 困らせてばかりかもしれないけど

夜通し話してた 未来だとか今が
あまりに私には眩しくて
尊く感じていた

いつか過去を許せる日が
来るといいのにと思ったら 涙溢れた

白い雪が溶けて街が 鮮やかに彩られる頃も
こうして君の事が 大事で仕方ない私でいたい

わかり合えないまま すれ違った日も
涙の日 そして笑顔溢れる日も
そうどんな時だって どんな君であっても
いつも受け止めるよ

白い雪が街を染める頃にも 君の側にいさせて
私これからも 困らせてばかりかもしれないけど

白い雪が溶けて街が 鮮やかに彩られる頃も
こうして君の事が 大事で仕方ない私でいたい
