BENI COVERS歌詞
1.Ti Amo

作詞:松尾潔・英詞:BENI・Seiji Motoyama
作曲:Jin Nakamura・松尾潔

Darkness falls on a Sunday night
Once again I'm all alone
And I can't fight the memories
Lost deep within my thoughts 'til the dawn

Say goodbye and then you return
to a place you call home
And I don't know why we keep fighting for
a love that has been cursed from the start

Some people say that those with impure hearts
will not be given a blessing from up above
Won't you please tell me what crimes I'm guilty of
I know my feelings are real
but is this love?

Kissing you as I close my eyes
make me believe that you are mine
I don't wanna see the pain tomorrow brings
I need the warmth of your embrace
I feel your body close to me
And now I know this is where I want to be
Simple words I know I cannot speak
“I love you”just echoes silently

There are some who will tell you lies
playing games from the start
But when I say that I need you truly
Believe me these words come from my heart

In a world full of deception and sorrow
you make a promise to never hurt those you love
I'll bear this burden, I'll learn to carry on
A fire burns deep in my heart
I will be strong

It hurts me every time you go
I long for you when we're apart
I reach for you but I'm left here in the dark
And when the day it finally comes
For us to say our last goodbye
This is all that I ask from you before we part
Let me sing a final song for you
Keep it locked up deep down inside your heart

If we had only met much sooner
Then we could have walked this path together
But it's much too late for regret
Wipe my tears I try to forget
If we had only taken time to
Figure out a way to see this thing through
Just the two of us we'd sing in perfect harmony (Ti Amo)

Kissing you as I close my eyes
make me believe that you are mine
I don't wanna see the pain tomorrow brings
I need the warmth of your embrace
I feel your body close to me
And now I know this is where I want to be
Simple words I know I cannot speak
“I love you”

I can't go on I feel so weak
It's in your eyes you're blaming me
But we both knew it would end before the start
And every night before you sleep
Please won't you say a prayer for me
Promise you'll never forget the times we had
Close my eyes to all the lies I see
All alone with my precious memories


2.LA・LA・LA LOVE SONG

作詞:久保田利伸・英詞:BENI
作曲:久保田利伸・英詞:BENI

Spinning around, like a merry-go-round
And I don't ever ever wanna stop baby
You are the music to my melody
La-la-la-la-la love song

Hear the rain tapping down on the rooftop
As we're cruising the city streets
Don't care how crazy the world seems outside
Cause I got you next to me

There were times I was too shy to say it
How you're taking over my mind
But I know I'm not the only one
Cause you bring that feeling back to me

Seems so right, like this was meant to be
(You make me feel brand new)
Cried lonely nights, but now you're all I see
(And I wanna love that's brand new)

When we kiss, it's gonna be so sweet
The kinda kiss that knocks you down oh so softly
Won't say a word, cause they don't mean a thing
Stay with me now and don't let go
You gave me strength the strength I needed
To give you everything my heart's been hiding
So this is how I want you to feel it
La-la-la-la-la love song

It's the sorrow of unhappy endings,
That brings the joy to brand new days
Like the rhythm of making love
Some things just can't be explained

But everytime I look at you I know
(You are my shining star)
Something inside was changing all along
(I wanna be your shining star)

Spinning around, like a merry-go-round
And I don't ever ever wanna stop baby
You are the music to my melody
La-la-la-la-la love song
Everytime we're here together
Time just flies I wanna stop it forever
So bittersweet but perfect melody
La-la-la-la-la love song

Baby I got all that you need, just let me take you higher

When we kiss, it's gonna be so sweet
The kinda kiss that knocks you down oh so softly
Won't say a word, cause they don't mean a thing
Stay with me now and don't let go
You gave me strength the strength I needed
To give you everything my heart's been hiding
So this is how I want you to feel it
La-la-la-la-la love song

Spinning around, like a merry-go-round
And I don't ever ever wanna stop baby
You are the music to my melody
La-la-la-la-la love song
Everytime we're here together
Time just flies I wanna stop it forever
So bittersweet but perfect melody
La-la-la-la-la love song


3.瞳をとじて

作詞:平井堅・英詞:Sierra・BENI
作曲:平井堅

I wake up just to find the empty space
I try to get to sleep again, and imagine you're here
I thought I heard you whispering my name
I try to reach my arms to you
But you're not there

Then I realize it's just a dream
I have to face another day, the night is over
Sun shines through my window now I see
I have to face the truth again, that you're really gone

How should l know why everything's the same
When I can't hold you, kiss you, hear you say you love me too
There's no way that I could erase all the memories of you
I keep inside, all of the time
Cause they show how I'm still in love with you
Your love's forever

Everytime I close my eyes
I can see you by my side
Tell me babe, what else can I do?
It doesn't bother me at all
How many seasons fall
You'll always be here in my heart

If you ever asked me to, someday
Maybe I 'd be strong enough to get over you
I'd rather spend my nights and my days
With all the pain and the regret
Just crying over you

How should I understand how life goes on
Without you I won't last a day,
remember how we used to pray
I wish that I could just forget and set my heart free
Although I tried, I don't know why
I'm falling deeper in love with you
I wish forever

Everytime I close my eyes
I can see you by my side
Tell me babe, what else can I do?
It doesn't bother me at all
How many seasons fall
You'll always be here in my heart

Your love's forever

Everytime I close my eyes
I can see you by my side
Tell me babe, what else can I do?
It doesn't bother me at all
How many seasons fall
You'll always be here in my heart

I close my eyes and try to find
The traces of your love so kind
Tell me baby, what else can I do?
Love will never fade away
That's just what you would say
I know we'll never be apart

You'll always be here in my heart


4.奏(かなで)

作詞:大橋卓弥・常田真太郎・英詞:BENI, Yoko Hiji
作曲:大橋卓弥・常田真太郎

A little more
A little longer wanna hold your hand in mine
With a little anticipation, your train will leave for a new life
I know I should send you off with a smile on my face
But I just can't be so happy, no matter how I try

Hope the days to come are filled with love
As seasons come and go
Hope you don't collect many sad songs that make you cry
Thinking of the things that I should tell you, something
meaningful
I keep looking for the right words to say,
something rather than “good-bye”

I believed my destiny was to lead you by the hand
A little funny now, the more I think about it
But I get it now, because we'll be fine, nothing to worry about
All the days we spent together will guide us down the right path

You will come in full bloom by yourself while we are apart
And there is no guarantee that I won't change at all
But no matter how hard it may be, if there is a song like this
A song like this will keep us close, no matter how far
We will always be together

It's already time to go, the whistle sings and the time is up
You let my hand go as you're walking away before I'm ready
So I had to call your name to stop and hold you close
Remember that I'm just a call away to be with you wherever you
are

From the day you came into my life
It's been such a miracle
Every little part of me has changed for the better
The morning sun and all the tears and my voice to sing this song
Ever since you came to me, they all shine brighter

Can you hear all my love I have for you overflowing out of me?
I'm going to sing this song to you although you're far away
Rest assured babe, as long as we keep this song in our hearts
Nothing ever could pull both of us apart
You know we'll always be together


5.One more time, One more chance

作詞:山崎将義・英詞:BENI, Yoko Hiji
作曲:山崎将義

Tell me how much more do I have to lose
Before I can ever forgive myself
Do you know how much more pain I must endure
Before I can ever see your face again
One more time - Tell me why the seasons keep on changing
One more time - Missing all the times that we shared as one

All those times when we used to argue back and forth
I always just let you have it your way
What kind of spell did you cast on me
I even loved all of your selfish ways
One more chance - When I find myself lost in those memories
One more chance - I don't know where to go or where to land

It doesn't matter where I am because
I can't help but look for you everywhere
On the station platform, in the alley windows
I keep fooling myself thinking I might find you there
Never thought I would wish upon a star
I just want to be there by your side
There's nothing that I won't do, I'd give up everything
Just to hold you in my arms, one more time

If all I wanted was just not to be alone,
I should be happy with just anyone
But tonight the stars are hanging by a thread,
and I can't lie to myself anymore
One more time - Tell me why the seasons keep on changing
One more time - Missing all the times that we shared as one

It doesn't matter where I am because
Can't help but look for you everywhere
At the intersection, even in my dreams
Knowing there is no way you would be there
If I could just believe in miracles
I would do anything to show you now
In the morning light, completely new me
I'd tell you what I couldn't say before,“I love you.”

Memories of our summers together ooh
Our beating hearts were heard no more

It doesn't matter where I am because
Can't help but look for you everywhere
The morning sun rises, city of Sakuragi
I keep fooling myself thinking I might find you there
Never thought I would wish upon a star
I just need you right here by my side
There's nothing that I won't do, I'd give up everything
Just to hold you in my arms, one more time

It doesn't matter where I am because
Can't help but look for a trace of you
At every corner store, in the newspaper
Knowing there is no way that you would be there
If I could just believe in miracles, I would open my heart up
once again
In the morning light, a completely new me
I'd tell you what I couldn't say before,“I love you.”

It doesn't matter where I am because
Can't help but to search for your smile
At the railway crossing, watching the trains pass by
Even though there's no way that you'd be there
If I could live my life all over again, I would be with you for
all time
There's nothing else in this world I want more than what I had
There would never be anything but you that I would ask for


6.ロビンソン

作詞:草野正宗・英詞:Seiji Motoyama
作曲:草野正宗

Softly the spring winds whisper to me
Feeling the sadness in the gentle breeze
From the riverbank I see, moving so free
How far will you run? I follow silently
Lock them away with my memories
Retell the tale the story sounds so sweet
Though the darkness may descend, night will turn the day
Smiling through the tears I know I'll find a way

Once again we're in the same old place same time
And I know that I will use the same old line
Don't you know that sometimes simple words they bring
A miracle can't you see

Hold me baby I won't let go
Take you to a place we both know
A new world where no one ever can find us
I will have the strength for us both
Fly you to the stars up above
Oh my love a dream of love made reality

Just like a stray cat with nowhere to go
Sits in the corner feeling all alone
Gonna hold you in my arms, never be apart
All the things you fear they seem so far away
Waiting for you at the usual place
Look through the window staring into space
Wipe it clean so I can see peeking
through the trees
Floating up above the new moon cries to me

Like the dream that lies there waiting for us both
Catch you by surprise a shock but then you know
Just like all the spirits on the sky above
We'll be reborn can't you see

Hold me baby I won't let go
Take you to a place we both know
Scattered through the heavens
a never ending song
I will have the strength for us both
Fly you to the stars up above
Oh my love a dream of love made reality

I will have the strength for us both
Fly you to the stars up above
Oh my love a dream of love made reality
Oh my love a dream of love made reality


7.Suddenly ~ラブ・ストーリーは突然に~

作詞:小田和正・Priscilla Coolidge
作曲:小田和正

Before this magic night falls and fades away
I've got to find the words to steal your heart away
You're such a vision
Oh baby, listen
I may be puttin' it all on the line
I get so weak when I look into your eyes
I feel the heat baby
I must be hypnotized
But if I could
Well, we both know I would
Stop the hands of time
Here tonight

It seemed when I met you
We'd been here before
That I didn't forget you
On some other shore
Fate was my friend
Cause she brought you again
Now here you are in my arms suddenly

My heart is blind to other eyes
It just sees you
It couldn't fool me even if I wanted it to
Your love has saved me
Your smile is sacred
I want to be with you all my life
There is no fantasy, oh no, not anymore
You're much more real to me
Than anything before
Now that you're here
Well it all seems clear
I'm gonna take the fall
Take it all

Love is forever
As free as the wind
The nothing else matters
When it comes again
Time is my friend
Cause she brought you again
Now here you are in my arms

It seemed when I met you
We'd been here before
That I didn't forget you
On some other shore
Fate was my friend
Cause she brought you again
Now here you are in my arms suddenly

My love is in motion tonight
And it's time to set it free
Cause you're the one
The only one
Who could deliver me
Your love is an ocean of fire
When you take me to my need
That I will remember
For all eternity

Love is forever
As free as the wind
The nothing else matters
When it comes again
Time is my friend
Cause she brought you again
Now here you are in my arms

※It seemed when I met you
We'd been here before
That I didn't forget you
On some other shore
Fate was my friend
Cause she brought you again
Now here you are in my arms suddenly


8.もう恋なんてしない

作詞:Noriyuki Makihara・英詞:BENI・Seiji Motoyama
作曲:Noriyuki Makihara

On the kitchen table sits an empty cup
Spent hours searching for a bag of tea
Even though you have gone I'll make a new start
From this day on I will learn how to take care of me

Now the food's on the plate but your favorite recipe
Has somehow lost it's flavor now that things have changed
Looking back I see everything you did for me
And I know life won't ever be the same

Back when I had you by my side
I would try to run from the intimacy
It's too late but I finally realize
Loneliness it hurts more than the desire to be free

Won't you tell me why, why you said goodbye
I still don't understand why it had to end
Here in this room, oh I feel so all alone
I'm moving forward but I'm still searching for the way home

I promise you, this I know for sure
I'm gonna be okay baby can't you see
Cause I made a promise to myself that I'll
Never say I'll never love again

From the towel in the bath to your old ashtray
The hat and the scarf you gave to me
The books out in the hall, all the records we played
Gonna clean up, gonna move on, gonna throw them away

I'm standing in the hall, trash bag in my hand
I'm trying to be strong but my knees grow weak
Though the people stare I try to retain my dignity
They all know what I have been through

All of these things you leave behind
Remnants of a past that will fade over time
I take a look around and I realize
All the happiness that we shared is gone forever

Everything I do leads me back to you
The little things that keep you inside my heart
Trying to let go but the memory's too strong
I'm trapped inside this heartbreak, the loneliness since you've
gone

I know it's true, someday I'll forget you
All those little dreams we left unfulfilled
Believe in the hope that a new day brings
I'll make a brand new start without you

I was in love, truly was in love
All that I knew was out of loving you
But I made a promise to myself that I'll
Never say I'll never love again


9.桜坂

作詞:福山雅治・英詞:BENI
作曲:福山雅治

I whisper softly into the wind
Hope you are happy wherever you are
Even though my love for you still remains the same

Swaying sunlight through the leaves
The scent of cherry blossoms
A light shade of red I see reminds me of loneliness

You were the only one, I knew it the day I met you
Nobody ever made me feel how I do
But we never became one

Even though I knew this was love
Even though spring is about to come
Even now I dream of you as I did before

The color of your kiss is just like the cherry blossoms
All that I ever wanted in this world was to hold on to you

Together you and I, we would go on forever
Innocent promises from long ago
Turned into tears I've cried

Even though I knew this was love
Even though flowers will bloom at once
Even now you still are who you were before

We can't be together
Though the seasons keep changing
You're still the one I love

You were the only one, who understood my desires
That's why to this day I'm still
Chasing my dreams

Even though I knew this was love
Even though spring is about to come
Even now I dream of you as I did before

I whisper softly into the wind
Hope you are happy wherever you are
Even though my love for you still remains the same


10.ここにしか咲かない花

作詞:小渕健太郎・英詞:Jeff Miyahara
作曲:小渕健太郎

There is nothing glamorous in this simple town
But there's a special flower that can only bloom right here
And all the heavy burdens in our heart, get carried away
The wind can smooth the wrinkles of the past

Like a dazzling reflection of the sky
I hear the distant calling of the azure ripples of the sea
I realize that your laughter reminds me
Of the soothing sound of the gentle ocean

When your heart can't cover up the look of loneliness
You don't have to reveal it to me
But anytime you need, these faces so familiar in your heart
Wait for you to reach out to their hands

I wanna know if that place that I had been once before
Hasn't ever changed and remains
The place that always will be there for me
Till the last goodbye, I'll cherish it
And I can't stop looking back to see
That you're smiling, waving back to me.
I'm gonna bite my lips not to cry.
And I'll try to fight this feeling,
But the tears make it so hard to see
I'll be waiting for the day when we can reunite again
Where the flowers bloom, for just me and you

There is something that the shadows can explain
Something so simple and so obvious that we forget
Behind the cloudy surface of it all, if we look up above
We'll see the sunshine illuminate everything we see

Oh the past and present faces here are all to stay
Each prelude ushers new memories
I'm proud to have it all, these memories alive inside my heart
Blossoming vividly, one by one

After the rain, the roads are muddy
And there're puddles everywhere
And we clearly see, all the footsteps
In this journey through this life we lead
And I pray these tears can find a way
And can breathe life back into the day
When the wilting petals in my heart
Can once again begin blossoming
And I'll whisper to the ocean breeze,
And my wish will soar above seas
And a rainbow in the sky, will appear for you and I
Glistening in the sun, shine for everyone

The only place where this flower blooms
The only place where this wind can blow
The only place you can hear this song
The only place you can see these sights
The only place where this flower blooms
The only place where this wind can blow

I wanna know if that place that I had been once before
Hasn't ever changed and remains the place
That always will be there for me
And I'll try to fight this feeling,
But the tears make it so hard to see
I'll be waiting for the day when we can reunite again

After the rain, the roads are muddy
And there're puddles everywhere
And we clearly see, all the footsteps
In this journey through this life we lead
And I'll try to find this loneliness,
But the tears make it so hard to see
Even though the scars and memories
I swear I won't forget you and me
So radiantly shining through the horizon as it rises high
And the wind carries this star, relive the memories
Till then I'll be waiting for you


11.今のキミを忘れない

作詞:ナオト・インティライミ・英詞:BENI・Seiji Motoyama
作曲:ナオト・インティライミ

Always thought that we would be together
But it seems as thought this is our destiny
After the leaves have fallen then comes the spring
We turn the page to new beginnings

Once again we walk along this same old street
At the corner we'll be going separate ways
Now it's time to say goodbye, but when I try to speak
I just lose the words, I can't say anything

Times that we cried, the warmth of your smile
These memories, no, they will never fade away
I wanna thank you, everything you do
I gotta tell you once more before you go
Thinking of you, and the good times that we knew
Never forget the way that things used to be
There's no need to cry, just give me one last smile
Cause in my heart, I will keep you with me

Maybe someday when you're far away
And the past it starts to fade into a dream
Praying that you won't forget you and me
I'll treasure it like it's a part of me

Times that we cried, the warmth of your smile
These memories, no, they will never fade away
I wanna thank you, everything you do
I gotta tell you once more before you go
Thinking of you, and the good times that we knew
Never forget the way that things used to be
There's no need to cry, just give me one last smile
Cause in my heart, I will keep you with me

Sweet memories,
they come back to me
Feel you beside me
as if you were here
When times get bad,
I remember what we had
The thought of you
just makes my heart beat again

Times that we cried,
the warmth of your smile
These memories,
no, they will never fade away
I wanna thank you, everything you do
I gotta tell you once more before you go
Thinking of you,
and the good times that we knew
Never forget the way that things used to be
There's no need to cry, just give me one last smile
Cause in my heart,
I will keep you here with me


12.いとしのエリー

作詞:桑田佳祐・英詞:Rumiko Varnes・Pete Hawkins
作曲:桑田佳祐

There were times I left your heart in pain
Time again I've turned and walked away
I'd get to where I'm going just to find
Won't be happy in this world if you're not by my side
Ellie, my love so sweet

My heart told me to break away
Now I'm out here far away
Wish that I could hold you in the awful night
Then I'd wake up to a morning
That is warm and bright
Ellie, my love so sweet

Smile for me, won't you, baby
Forever you'll be on my mind
Drink with me, won't you, baby
We're gonna make it right this time
There's no one else like you
Anything your want, I'll do
Ellie, my love so sweet
Ellie, my love so sweet

My heart told me to break away
Now I'm out here far away
Wish that I could hold you in the awful night
Then I'd wake up to a morning
That is warm and bright
Ellie, my love so sweet

Smile for me, won't you, baby
Forever you'll be on my mind
Drink with me, won't you, baby
We're gonna make it right this time
There's no one else like you
Anything your want, I'll do
Ellie, my love so sweet
Ellie, my love so sweet


13.TRUE LOVE

作詞:Fumiya Fujii・英詞:Seiji Motoyama
作曲:Fumiya Fujii

Just like a summer breeze I still can remember
The gentleness of your smile
Even today I still recall
Still shining so brightly the image is burned deep inside of my
memory
And now they change into bitter tears

And I believed every word you said
But in the end oh I hurt you so bad
We were chasing a dream that is
Impossible so unattainable don't you know
Sometimes the dream it has to end

Suddenly you are still, you turn away from me
Your gaze it drops to the ground
Just like a gentle, gentle rain

I can still recall the day I first met you
The image so clear to me
Tears they may fall, but nothing has changed

Staring at you feel you so close to me
You were the only thing that I could see
We were chasing a dream that is
Impossible so unattainable don't you know
Sometimes the dream it has to end
Sometimes the dream it has to end
