Piggybacking on the post earlier today, here are the lyrics from the ending song of the Gaia Gear radio drama: STAY WITH YOU ~Like the Stars~ Yoko Ichikawa 友達さえ 遠く見える そんなときも 負けないでね 壊れそうな 淋しさに Even when your friends seem so far away Don’t give in to the painful loneliness 心の弱さも あなたの 優しさに 変るから Because the weakness of your heart will also become […]
