02. おまじない
(NHK23時連続ドラマ「笑う三人姉妹」主題歌)
作詞: 秋元 
作曲: 

* さあ 目を閉じて歌うように
深呼吸してごらんよ
さあ さっきより 自分のこと
好きになれる

今日が終わる真夜中に
人は振り返るよ
何か 忘れ物したような
胸に切ない棘

なぜ 空の星は
迷いもなく
輝くのか
また 明日になれば
消える事を
知っているから

さあ 目を閉じて 歌うように
深呼吸してごらんよ
さあ しあわせのおまじないを
信じようよ

もっと やさしくできたし
話も聞けたのに
何を急いでいたのだろう
悔いは未来の種

なぜ夜と朝は
今日の夢を
伝えないの
そう、いつの時も
明日は明日の
風が吹くから

* repeat
さあ 疲れている頭の中
空っぽにしてごらんよ
さあ すぐできるおまじないは
微笑むこと

流れ落ちた涙さえも朝の空へ

04. more than words (Original by: EXTREME)
Lyrics & Music: Nuno Bettancourt and Gary Cherone

Saying 'I love you' 
 is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you not to say
but if you only knew

How easy it would be to show me how to feel
more than words
 is all you have to do to make it real
then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'couse I'd already know

What would you do?
If my heart was torn in two
more than words to show to feel
 that your love for me is real

What would you say?
If I those words away
then you couldn't make thing new,
 just by saying 'I love you'
more than words

Now that I've tried to talk to you
and make you understand
all you have to do is close your eyes
and just reach out your hands

and touch me
hold me close
don't ever let me go
more than words is all I ever needed you to show
then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'cause I've already know

What would you do?
If my heart was torn in two
more than words to show to feel
 that your love for me is real

What would you say?
If I took those words away
then you couldn't make thing new,
 just by saying 'I love you'
more than words

なぜアナタはさまよい続けているのだろう
まだアナタを待ち続けているのだから
あまりにも好きなアナタを忘れたくない
I never wanna say goodbye.

more than you'll ever know
アナタの声が聞いてみたいから
everytime眠れぬ夜はalone
I cry...I cry...I cry...

なぜ私は悲しみ続けているのだろう
まだ私は苦しみつづけているの
誰よりも好きなアナタを忘れたくても もう忘れられない

時間だけを巻き戻して
いっそやり直せたら...

ただ
アナタをすぐ忘れられる勇気を入れて
今私はこぼれる涙を拭いて
想い出の中のアナタを
忘れてゆく
I just wanna say goodbye.

08. I Can’T Tell You Why ~言い出せなくて~
I Can’T Tell You Why ~iidasenakute~ (original: EAGLES)
Lyrics: Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmit
Music: Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmit

Look at us, baby, up al night
Tearin' our love apart
Aren't we the same two people
who lived through years in the dark
Ahh..

Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why

When we get crazy,
it just ain't right,
(Try to keep you head, little baby)
Baby, I get lonely,too
You don't have to worry, just hold on tight
(Don't get caught in your little world)
'Cause I love you

Nothing's wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be
And I can't tell you why
No baby, I Can’t Tell You Why
I Can’t Tell You Why

Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I Can’t Tell You Why
No baby, I Can’t Tell You Why
I Can’t Tell You Why

No,no, baby, I Can’t Tell You Why
I Can’t Tell You Why
I Can’t Tell You Why

09. as it's
作詞: Satomi
作曲: 

遊び疲れ 眠ってる
子供みたいね
いまは きみのこと
何も考えず ただ見ていたいよ

ゆっくりと流れる
2人の時間さえも
空が白み始める頃に
終わってゆくんだろう。

このまま いつまでも
朝が来なければいいな
こんなに まだ愛は
きみを欲しているのに 夜が明ける

言い争って 少しだけ
気まずくなって
胸に 溜ってた
想い出のかけら きみにぶちまけた

こんなにも簡単に
終わってしまうなんて
バカだと笑ってよ 最期に
笑顔でね、さよならを。

このまま いつまでも
きみに寄り添い感じたい
いつもの この場所で
未来を夢見ていたい もう少し...

いつのまに僕は きみに抱かれて
眠ってしまったのだろう
凜とした朝の においがそっと
最期の鐘、鳴らす

このまま いつまでも
朝が来なければいいな
こんなに まだ愛は
きみを欲しているのに 終わるんだね

このまま いつまでも
きみに寄り添い感じたい
でも、もう 行かなくちゃ
きみが目覚める前には 出て行くよ

10. Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing
 (original: Stevie Wonder)
Lyrics: Stevie Wonder
Music: Stevie Wonder

Everybody's got a thing
But some don't know how to handle it
Always reachin' out in vain
Just talking the things not worth having but

Don't worry 'bout a thing
Don't worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out

They say your style of life's a drag
And that you must go other places
But just don't you feel too bad
When you get fooled by smiling faces but

Don't worry 'bout a thing
Don't worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out...
When you get off... your trip
When you check it out...
When you check it out...ooh

Don't worry 'bout a thing
Don't worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out...
When you get off... your trip

Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
But you're the olny one to see
The changes you take yourself through but

Don't worry 'bout a thing
Don't worry 'bout a thing, pretty mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
Cause I'll be standing in the wings
When you check it out

Don't worry 'bout a thing

12. Glory of Life (English version)
作詞: 
作曲: 

There are times
when the world'
seams to fold under pressure of man

no one knows
'bout the tears
in the rain that keep falling on us

Need to feel that the wind can change
In the home of the brave I believe

We can stand up and sing
the love that's within us will conquer, in someway
Now we're fighting to win
so hold on to this dream
For the glory of life...the glory of life

Throw a dime
In the well

make a wish and believe it comes true

say a prayer
close your eyes
'n you will see all the wonders of life

I believe there will come a time
when the world stars to shine in grace

We can stand up and sing
the love that's within us will conquer, in someway
Now we're fighting to win
so hold on to this dream
For the glory of life

we stumble and we fall
we win and we loose
we welcome all the joy
and shed all the tears

so this is my song
For the glory of life...the glory of life

We can stand up and sing
the love that's within us will conquer, in someway
Now we're fighting to win
so hold on to this dream
For the glory of life

We can stand up and sing
the love that's within us will conquer, in someway
Now we're fighting to win
so hold on to this dream
For the glory of life

glory of life
glory of life
For the Glory of life
