Lyrics

A pale pink cosmos sways
In an ordinary spot in the sun on an autumn day
My mother, who has cried easily recently
Coughs once by the garden

She opens an album by the trees
And talks about memories of my childhood
Over and over again
In a small voice, as if talking to herself

On this peaceful day in an unusually warm autumn
I feel your kindness deeply
I laughed and said
“Even if my getting married tomorrow is causing you pain now
Time will turn it into a funny story, so you don’t need to worry”

“Now I’m looking back on various memories
I’ve realised there was never a day when I was alone”
She bites her lip as she looks at me
Who is still as selfish as ever

She helped me pack for tomorrow
And we kept our spirits up for awhile
But then suddenly Mum burst into tears
And said “Good luck” again and again

I’ll try to live my life my way
With the words “Thank you” in my heart
Let me be your child
A little longer
On this peaceful day in an unusually warm autumn
