When I'm gone –
No need to wonder if I ever think of you
The same moon shines,
The same wind blows
For both of us, and time is but a paper moon –
Be not gone
Though I'm gone,
It's just as though I hold the flower that touches you
A new life grows,
The blossom knows
There's no one else could warm my heart as much as you
Be not gone
Let us cling together as the years go by,
Oh my love, my love
In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose the lessons we have learned
Teo torriatte konomama iko,
Aisuruhito yo
Shizukana yoi ni,
Hikario tomoshi
Itoshiki oshieo idaki
Hear my song,
Still think of me the way you've come to think of me
The nights grow long,
But dreams live on
Just close your pretty eyes and you can be with me –
Dream on
Teo torriatte konomama iko,
Aisuruhito yo
Shizukana yoi ni,
Hikario tomoshi
Itoshiki oshieo idaki
When I'm gone,
They'll say we're all fools and we don't understand
Oh be strong,
Don't turn your heart
We're all, you're all, for all, for always
Let us cling together as the years go by,
Oh my love, my love
In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose the lessons we have learned
