雑踏の中で ふと目が合った
あの日の君と 同じ笑い方で
名前を呼ぶ前に 人波にまぎれて
もう姿は 見えなくなった
ほんの一瞬の めぐり逢いだった
それでも確かに 君だったはず
夜空の月が 雲に隠れるみたいに
めぐり逢いて 見しやそれとも
わからないまま 夜は更けてゆく
あれは本当に 君だったのかな
それとも僕の 見た夢だったのかな
雲がくれにし 夜半の月影
追いかける手も 届かないまま
連絡先も 聞けないままで
別れた言葉も 覚えていない
それでも今夜 思い出している
君の声を 君のまなざしを
ほんの一瞬の めぐり逢いだから
こんなにも深く 胸に残るの
夜空の月が 雲を抜けるみたいに
めぐり逢ひて 見しやそれとも
わからないまま 時は流れて
あれは本当に 君だったのかな
それでも確かに 光はあったよ
雲がくれにし 夜半の月影
記憶のなかで 今も照らしてる
めぐり逢ひて 見しやそれとも わかぬ間に
雲がくれにし 夜半の月かな
めぐり逢ひて 見しやそれとも
答えはきっと もう要らないんだ
一瞬だったから 美しかった
確かめないから 永遠になった
雲がくれにし 夜半の月影
あの夜の月は 今もどこかで
誰かを照らして いるのだろう
In the bustling crowd, our eyes happened to meet
with the very same smile as you, from that day long ago
before I could call your name, you slipped into the surging crowd
and your figure was already gone from sight
it was a meeting of only the briefest moment
and yet, surely, it had to have been you
like the moon in the night sky slipping behind the clouds
We meet again — but was it really you?
not knowing for certain, the night deepens on
was that truly you, I wonder
or was it only a dream that I had seen?
the midnight moon, hidden away behind the clouds
and my reaching hand never quite catches up
I never even got to ask how to find you again
I can't remember the words we said in parting
and yet tonight, I find myself remembering
your voice, and the look within your eyes
because it was a meeting of only the briefest moment
it lingers this deeply, etched within my heart
like the moon in the night sky breaking through the clouds
We meet again — but was it really you?
not knowing for certain, the time keeps flowing on
was that truly you, I wonder
and yet, surely, there was a light
the midnight moon, hidden away behind the clouds
within my memory, it is shining even now
We met — but was it you? — before I could even tell
the midnight moon had hidden away behind the clouds
We meet again — but was it really you?
surely by now, I no longer need an answer
because it was but a moment, it was beautiful
because I never made certain, it became eternal
the midnight moon, hidden away behind the clouds
that moon of that night, somewhere even now
must still be shining down on someone
