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.
