Doko ni ikebaii anata to hanarete Ima wa sugisatta toki ni toikakete Nagasugita yoruni tabidachi wo yume mita Ikoku no sora mitsumete kodoku wo dakishimete Nagareru namida wo tokino kaze ni kasanete Owaranai anata no toiki wo kanjite Dry your tears with love Loneliness your silent whisper Fills a river of tears through the night Memory you never let me cry And you, you never said good-bye Sometimes our tears blinded the love We lost our dreams along the way But I never thought you´d trade your soul to the fates Never thought you´d leave me alone Time through the rain has set me free Sands of time will keep your memory Love everlasting fades away Alive within your beatless heart Dry your tears with love Nagareru namida wo toki no kaze ni kasanete Owaranai kanashimi wo aoi bara ni kaete Dry your tears with love Nagareru namida wo tokino kaze ni kasanete Owaranai anata no toiki wo kanjite Dry your tears with love Dry your tears with love Dry your tears with love Dry your tears with love
