Time Goes By Lyrics

Japanese (English transalation below)

Kitto kitto dare mo ga
Nani ka tarinai mono wo
Muri ni kitai shisugite
Hito wo kizutsukete iru

Aeba kenka shiteta ne
Nagaku isugita no ka na
Iji wo hareba naosara
Sukima hirogaru bakari

Kiss wo shitari
Dakiattari
Tabun sore de yokatta
Atarimae no
Aishikata mo
Zutto wasurete ita ne

Shinjiaeru yorokobi mo
Kizutsukeau kanashimi mo
Itsuka arinomama ni
Aiseru you ni
Time goes by...

Tsuugou warui toki niwa
Itsumo iiwake shiteta
Sou ne sonna tokoro wa
Futari yoku nite ita ne

Yasuragi to ka
Shinjitsu to ka
Itsumo motomete dakedo
Kotoba no you ni
Kantan niwa
Umaku tsutaerarezu ni

Mouichido omoidashite
Anna nimo aishita koto
"Arigatou" ga ieru
Toki ga kuru made
Say good bye

Nokosareta kizuato ga
Kieta shunkan
Hontou no yasashisa no
Imi ga wakaru yo kitto

Sugita hi ni se wo mukezu ni
Yukkuri toki wo kanjite
Itsuka mata waratte
Aeru to ii ne
Time goes by

English (by Ryu http://www.lava.net/~raistlin/)

I'm certain that everyone
Winds up hurting others
While anticipating something
That isn't what they need

When we were together we fought
I wonder if we've been together for too long
And while we act stubborn
The distance just gets wider

If we had kissed
Or held on together
Things probably would have been alright
I've forgotten
What it's like
To just be in love

Happiness we can believe in...
And sadness that we're both hurt by...
So that someday
I can love you honestly...
Time goes by...

When things weren't going right
All we did was make up excuses
That's right, during those times
We were so much alike

I always wished for
Things like tranquility
And truth
But unlike words
It's not easy
To express these feelings skillfully

Won't you remember once more
That we were that much in love
Until the day comes
When I can say "thank you"
Say good bye...

In the moment
When left-behind scars vanish
I'm sure I'll know the meaning
Of true kindness

Please enjoy time carefully
Without turning your back on days past
It'll be nice if someday
I can smile again and be with you
Time goes by...
