That summer with you is like a far off dream
disappearing in the sky like fireworks
The smell of your (freshly shampooed) hair
and your summer kimono is dazes me
on festival night it makes my heart thud
In the festival crowds, you held out your hand to me,
saying `Don't get lets get separated`
and I clasped it in my pocket
That summer with you is like a far off dream
disappearing in the sky like fireworks
Like little kids we scooped goldfish
so engrossed we got our sleeves wet
unaware of my glance your profile was so adorable
That summer with you is like a far off dream
disappearing in the sky like fireworks
We sat on the shrine's stone steps
In the hazy evening darkness
distanced from the noise of the crowds
with a match we lit handheld sparkler fireworks
and talked about various things...but
I couldn't tell you...that I liked you
That summer with you is like a far off dream
disappearing in the sky like fireworks
That summer with you is like a far off dream
disappearing in the sky like fireworks
