Romaji

namida ga afureru kanashii kisetsu wa
dareka ni dakareta yume wo miru

nakitai kimochi wa kotoba ni dekinai
konya mo tsumetai ame ga furu

korae kirenakute tameiki bakari
ima mo kono mune ni natsu wa meguru

shirokujichuu mo suki to itte
yume no naka e tsurete itte
wasurerarenai Heart & Soul
koe ni naranai

suna ni kaita namae keshite
nami wa doko e kaeru no ka
toorisugi yuku Love & Roll
ai wo sono mama ni

mainusu hyakudo no taiyou mitai ni
karada wo shimerafu koi wo shite

memai ga shisou na manatsu no kajitsu wa
ima demo kokoro ni saiteiru

tooku hanarete mo tasogare toki wa
atsui omokage ga mune ni semaru

shirokujichuu mo suki to itte
yume no naka e tsurete itte
wasurerarenai Heart & Soul
yoru ga matenai

suna ni kaita namae keshite
nami wa doko e kaeru no ka
toorisugi yuku Love & Roll
ai wo sono mama ni

konna yoru wa namida misezu ni
mata aeru to itte hoshii
wasurerarenai Heart & Soul
namida no kajitsu yo

English

On this sad tearful time of year
You dream of being loved by someone near
I cant explain these colored tears
Cold rain falls again
I keep on sighing, cant hold it in
And summer keeps returning
To my heart, my heavy heart
Cold rain keeps falling now

Say it again you really need me
A land where our dreams still live
Our hearts meet there
Were unaware
The world falls around us

Keep telling me I love you over and over
And take me to the place where all lovers dreams go
The words wont come
And the night wont slow
Your look of love wont let me go

Erase the words in the sand where the waves go
Back to the arms of the ones you knew before
They never loved you, youll never know
Just leave the love we shared alone

Interlude;

Now I am here and you are there
Its rough to say who didnt care
I throw it all up in the air
Cold rain falls again

What have I got
This broken heart
It doesnt show the end of start
Forever you will be my love
And Ill still be yours

Just say that you really want me
To love you and be your man
Youre warm inside, love cannot hide
The world falls around us

Keep telling me I love you over and over
And take me to the place where all lovers dreams go
The words wont come
And the night wont slow
Your look of love wont let me go

Erase the words in the sand where the waves go
Back to the arms of the ones you knew before
They never loved you, youll never know
Just leave the love we shared alone

Say that you love me again
Please listen to me
Wait and Ill you why you dont have to leave
Youre unforgettable
My heart and soul
Your look of love wont let me go
Oh fruit of love dont let her go
