Lyrics

Ooh (Can you look at me?) Hey,
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah

Look at me,
can't you see
the tears are
cried for you

If you should ever
need, I'll be
here with nothing
left to do

But to think of the creed,
that we live in the greed
all the love
so careless and free

Make the moment last
don't relive our past
just remember,
we had in and taught you

Got to hold on
got to keep it,
strong, you see always
thinkin' we can do

Got to keep the love alive
only the strong survive
it's the least that
you and I can do

(Keep it alive)
Yeah, Yeah
Oh

Look into my eyes
and see a tender life
my love is waiting here
for you (my love is waiting for you)

If you reach up
on my hip I'll sure understand
how to make our
dreams come true

Ooh

Song Production Information

NAOKI

One of my songs is a ballad called "BALLAD FOR YOU~omoi no ame~", and the acid house style "rain of sorrow" was inspired by its lyrics, which depict the world behind it.

In fact, there was a lot of trial and error in creating three different versions of this song. The version that was finally included was a simple-is-best arrangement.

It's a beautiful good song~! I have tried to make the single image of the song as nice as the beauty of the piano melody.

I like this song.
But, when I play it with more than dancing, my legs get tangled.
