You whom I saw in the steady rain,
O lively rainy breeze,
Today you look down on me like the vast sky.
Once playing in the dust of the streets,
Swinging everyday on the swings,
Today you have transformed into a gentle drizzle.
Endlessly, endlessly,
I walk the streets where we once wandered.
Shoulder leaning against shoulder,
I become a child again.
Endlessly, endlessly,
I live those memories again and again.
Are you truly the same person I once knew?
I am lost in wonder.
You whom I saw in the steady rain,
O lively rainy breeze,
Today you look down on me like the vast sky.
Once playing in the dust of the streets,
Swinging everyday on the swings,
Today you have transformed into a gentle drizzle.
On the stem of yesterday,
The flower swaying today
Tells an endless story
And draws me in.
With moisture still lingering
In her flowing hair,
As she came close to me,
A thrill ran through me.
The unspoken words
Keep speaking of you,
And into a never-ending daze,
They pull me in.
Endlessly, endlessly,
I walk the streets where we once wandered.
Shoulder leaning against shoulder,
I become a child again.
Endlessly, endlessly,
I live those memories again and again.
Are you truly the same person I once knew?
I am lost in wonder.
You whom I saw in the steady rain,
O lively rainy breeze,
Today you look down on me like the vast sky.
Once playing in the dust of the streets,
Swinging everyday on the swings,
Today you have transformed into a gentle drizzle.
Endlessly, endlessly,
I walk the streets where we once wandered.
Shoulder leaning against shoulder,
I become a child again.
