Masshiro na sono hada wo
Kawaita kaze ga kusugutte iru
Nagareru nagai kami ni
Hitomi wa sarawarete
                                         The parched wind
                                         Tickles that pure white skin
                                         And your long, flowing hair
                                         Catches my eye

Kasoku sareta
Jikan no hari wo
Itsumo dokoka
Sameta me de
Nagamete ita kedo
                                         I always watched from a distance,
                                         Never caring as the hands of time went
                                           swiftly by

Asa ga otozureru made
Kono sekai wa ochite yuku kara
Odoritsukareta ato mo
Kimi wo daite itai...
                                         But this world's gonna collapse
                                         Until the coming of the dawn
                                         So even after dancing ourselves 
                                           senseless
                                         I want to hold you close

Gareki no ue
Awatadashikute
Tomarenakute
Itsu no ma ni ka
Wasurete ita kedo
                                         Scurrying about
                                         On top of the the rubble
                                         I couldn't stop it
                                         Before I knew it 
                                         I'd forgotten all about it

Kimi ga warau to ureshikute
Asu ga nakute mo kamawanai
                                         But I love it when you smile
                                         I don't care if there's no tomorrow

CARESS OF VENUS
Sunao na mama
Kuchizuketara
Saa - oki ni mesu ga mama ni
                                         CARESS OF VENUS
                                         Open, honest
                                         If we kiss...
                                         Do whatever suits your fancy

Yubisaki made
Nanimo kamo ga
Mawate yuku - afurete yuku
Mienaku naru made
                                         All the way to my fingertips,
                                         Everything is spinning,
                                         Overflowing,
                                         Until I can't see anymore

Kimi ga inai to kurushikute
Nani ga okite mo hanasanai
Kimi ga warau to ureshikute
Asu ga nakutemo kamawanai
                                         It hurts when you're gone
                                         I won't let go no matter what
                                         I love it when you smile
                                         I don't care if there's no tomorrow

Kimi wo kirei na ano basho e
Tsurete yuketara suteki da ne
                                         It'd be wonderful if I could take you
                                         To that beautiful place


Kimi no subete ga...                     Your everything...
  (CARESS OF VENUS)
Kimi wo dare ni mo...                    I won't let anybody...
  (CARESS OF VENUS)
Kimi no tame nara...                     If it's for you...
  (CARESS OF VENUS)
Kimi ni ageyou...                        I'll give it to you...
  (CARESS OF VENUS)

Kimi ni hitomi wa sarawarete
                                         You catch my eye
