Just past midnight
Gliding past the silent city buildings
The night bus departs
Returning after five years
I think of my hometown and the tears well up
Packed away in my briefcase
Are my childhood memories
The distance grows… I always
Held only you, was held by only you
The familiar view of you from behind
Is one I’ll surely never forget. I don’t want to forget
When I open my eyes to the morning sun
I’m in the empty lot where we used to play
That scene revives once more
When I get off the bus
I take one deep breath after another
With the gentle breeze, I detect your scent
It still remains within my heart
I’m getting further away… I always
Held only you, was held by only you
The familiar view of you from behind
Is one I’ll surely never forget. I don’t want to forget
Your smile floats there, high up in the sky
Shine down on me forevermore
For all time… I always
Held only you, was held by only you
The familiar view of you from behind
Is one I’ll surely never forget. I don’t want to forget
Just past midnight
Gliding past the silent city buildings
The night bus departs yet again
