The Love I Never Knew (”はじめてのあい”English Version)

[Verse 1] I stared at you… I could hardly breathe, oh I’ve never felt a love like this before, yeah My heart is full, so full of aching feelings From the very depths of me, I’m in love with you [Pre-Chorus] Your big eyes… they pull me right inside Your sweet hair… smells so soft and nice Your laughing voice… it makes my heart jump high Your gentle skin… I’m lost, I can’t deny [Chorus] Just looking at you… tears start to rise, oh It’s not sadness, not pain inside It’s joy overflowing… filling up my heart My very first love… oh, it feels so right [Verse 2] I’ve found it now… my truest, deepest love For the first time ever, I’m so glad to be alive Thank you for being here, right here with me From the very depths of me… I’m in love with you [Pre-Chorus] I can’t look away… your profile’s shining bright Your slender form… it pulls me in so tight Your lively words… they make life feel so light You see it all… you care just right [Chorus] Just looking at you… fills me with such joy, oh Though I’m poor now, though work comes tomorrow Happiness keeps pouring… it fills my heart so full This first love… it’s just so wonderful [Break] I can’t tell you… these feelings deep inside You and I… everything’s so different, yes If anyone knew… they’d say it’s all so wrong But I cannot give up my love for you You are my reason… my only reason to live Please forgive me for keeping silent, yeah I know it all… but I can’t stop dreaming, no That you’d accept me… and we’d be together, forever [Chorus] Just being with you… makes my heart fly high I can’t confess… might not be rewarded, oh Yet joy keeps flowing… I’m lost in shining light This first dream… oh, it’s so beautiful, yes
