Track 11 on the KISS album

Toiki ga sutto nobotte fuyumeku sora tokedashita
sunda kuuki ni kokoro wa arawarete sakanoboru
    A sigh softly rose and melted away into the wintery sky
    My heart is cleaned by the clear air and rejuvinated

Tachidomattari, mawarimichi mo shita kedo
hitotsu hitotsu ga taisetsu na kioku
kyou no you ni itsu no hi mo kimi to tomo ni...
    I halted, and took detours but
    Each and every memory is precious
    Like today, someday together with you...

Furidashita yuki ga atari o somete
bokura o sotto tsutsumikondeyuku yo yasashiku
    The snow that started falling dyes our surroundings
    Like it's softly enveloping us, gently

Kimi ga ita kara ima demo mae o muite susumeru n da
irodoru fuyu o aruite kokoro kara sou omou
    Because you were there, even now I am able to go on facing forward
    I walk the colourful winter, thinking that from the heart

Hodou zoi ni wa kozue ni saku yuki no hana
shiroi kyanbasu rakugaki no romen
tsumetai te kasaneai atatameau
    Along the sidewalk are snow flowers blooming on tree branches
    Graffiti on the white canvas of the road
    Let's put our cold hands together and warm them up

Furikaeri mireba narabu ashiato
koronda ato o nagame hohoemiau fuyu no hi
    If we look back our footsteps are lined up
    We gaze at the mark of where we fell and smile, on a winter's day

Itsumo te o toru you ni
koushite shikkari fumishimi yukou
    Always, like I'm taking your hand
    Like this, steadily, let's firmly step forward

Furitsumoru yuki to shiroi ashiato
futari de egaku you ni aruiteku itsumademo
    The falling snow and white footsteps
    As though we are drawing a picture together, walk on, forever

Sotto yorisou mitai ni
mou sukoshi yukkuri issho ni kaerou
    Softly, like snuggling up to you
    Let's go a little slower, and return home together
