English translation: "Wherever we go is okay," You said Now what may have been Has been stopped by time

On that night that was too long I had a dream where you left me Staring at a foreign sky I hugged my loneliness

My fallen tears Are piling up on the winds of time At the end I feel your breath

DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

LONELINESS... YOUR SILENT WHISPER FILLS A RIVER OF TEARS THROUGH THE NIGHT MEMORY... YOU NEVER LET ME CRY AND YOU, YOU NEVER SAID GOODBYE SOMETIMES OUR TEARS BLINDED THE LOVE WE LOST OUR DREAMS ALONG THE WAY BUT I NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D TRADE YOUR SOUL TO THE FATES NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D LEAVE ME ALONE

TIME THROUGH THE RAIN HAS SET ME FREE SANDS OF TIME WILL KEEP YOUR MEMORY LOVE EVERLASTING FADES AWAY ALIVE WITHIN YOUR BEATLESS HEART

DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

My fallen tears Are piling up on the winds of time This feeling at the end Makes my blue rose change DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

My fallen tears are piled on the winds of time again At the end I can feel your breath DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE DRY YOUR TEARS WITH LOVE

(talking) If you could have taught me anything You would have found what love is If you could have taught me what was on your mind I could have shown you the way Someday... I will be before you Have you ever thought about that time? I never imagined the pictures of that night For now I will try to live for you And for... I will try to live Try to live the love, the dreams, And finally, the tears. About the song: Tears is an amazing power ballad. Toshi's voice is powerful enough to rock yet still give the song the raw emotion it needs. A good portion of the song is the vocal, a piano and a small orchestra. When the guitar, bass and drum kicks in, everything pulls together wonderfully. I'm not the type of person who cries at songs but this song makes me weepy.
