Ketsumeishi – Cherry Blossoms

Lyrics: Ketsumeishi
Music: Ketsumeishi

*As cherry blossom petals fall
Memories I had forgotten and your voice come back to me
The spring wind hasn’t stopped blowing since then
That faint aroma when the wind blew through your hair comes back to me
It hasn’t changed since that time we made a promise to each other
The petals flutter down, the petals flutter down

Cherry blossoms begin to fall as I idly remember
Those bright days are on my mind again
The aroma, scenery and wind haven’t changed at all
The only difference is that you’re not around
When I stand here it all comes back
I reread all the memories welling up inside me
The way your hair would blow in the spring breeze
How we’d joke around over something silly
We’d talk all night beneath a cherry blossom tree
These memories are proof of a time when I shined
People meet or say goodbye as the cherry blossoms fall
But this place is still the same
You let go of my hand and before I knew it
We had separated and left each other with a blooming sprout
As the petals flutter down I’ll take it back
In my heart I’ll remember you and the time we had

Cherry blossom petals fall, memories come back to me

Before I know it this season is here again
And I’m taken in by memories of you
I knocked on the door to my heart
But a cherry blossom petal sneaked past it
I realized for the first time how naive I was
I never knew until I came to this place
For some reason the wind here smells like fate
Warm light spills out from the sun
And if I close my eyes I can return to that day
But someday all traces of you will disappear
Since that day the scenery hasn’t changed
The falling petals have nothing to say
I still hear your voice echoing beneath the cherry blossom tree

(Repeat*)

A single petal falls on my shoulder and I take it into my hand
When I close my eyes you’re standing beside me

(Repeat*)

Cherry blossom petals fall, memories come back to me
Cherry blossom petals fall
