The English version
Vocal: Emiko Shiratori

Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark
For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart
To weave by picking up the pieces that remain
Melodies of Life-Love's lost refrain.

Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why
We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye
And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told?
Let them ring out loud till they unfold.

In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me
Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name.

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine
Adding the layers of harmony
And so it goes, on and on. Melodies of life
To the sky beyond the flying birds-forever and beyond.

So far and away, see the bird as it flies
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky
I've laid my memories, do you remember loving me?
Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings.

In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me?
Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind?

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life.
To the sky beyond the flying birds-forever and beyond.

If should I leave this lonely world behind.
Your voice will still remember our melody.
Now I know we'll carry on. Melodies of Life.
Come circle round and grow deep in out hearts, as long as we remember.
