Life is Beautiful
No matter what happens, I’ll always be right here.I’ll be surprised every time you decide to come home.I’ve loved singing since I was a boy, but I didn’t have the confidence to tell anyone.It’s been a while. How are things over there? As long as you’re fine, that’s all that really matters.We said we’d never complain to each other, but maybe we can talk about the past sometime.
I’m still singing my songs even now, though some might say I’m a little too dark for their taste.But because I told myself that I’d never lose, I was able to make it all the way to where I am now.I won’t let anybody take this feeling from me. I can feel so much weight piling on my shoulders.Do you remember those who gave up, those given up, and those whose dreams fell through in the end?
On this planet of short lives and disappearing dreams, all the sad stories don’t seem so surprising.To think that people can smile through their tears in spite of it all. Life is beautiful.What we gain in one hand, we lose from the other. Nothing is ever enough. It makes us want to cry.And somehow we don’t let ourselves stay steeped in our regrets. Life is beautiful.
Down at my favorite bar, I got carried away. The sun met us idiots on the way home next morning.Someone said it looked like the sun rose for us. My headache that day made my laughter awkward.Looking back, those days seem so far away now. The guitar I had back then is all caked with dust.But if there’s one thing I can say after all this time, the dawn waiting for us is just around the corner.
In this town of betrayals and things passing us by, all the bitter crying everywhere isn’t so surprising.To think that every one of these things is still able to move us so. Life is beautiful.Shortly after a fight at a family restaurant, a man stepped onto the train and waved until he was gone.He promised never to look back at the passing scenery again. Life is beautiful.
Would you look at the time. I guess you should head on home.I don’t really want to you to go, but I'm sure you feel the same.I’m filled with anxiety, but forward’s all there is. A little enthusiasm can take you anywhere.Touring from Tokyo on up to Aomori, no matter the venue I played, it was always good to me.After all, I love any place where you get to sing. As long as I get to sing this song for you.
This is a song that draws out the tears from the crowd. I’ll never lose what matters to me ever again.Never look back. You won’t find any flowers blooming there. Life is beautiful.Well then, see you again, and remember to treat your body well. Careful when you walk, I see you staggering.Look over there. The morning sun has already risen. Life is beautiful.Life is beautiful.
