My Time Lyrics
Close your eyes, you'll be here soon
一二三四五分
時々本当に寝たい
でもこのワードできない
[Pre-Chorus: Utane Uta]
おやすみ
おやすみ
おやすみ
おやすみ
[Chorus: bo en]
おやすみ、おやすみ
Close your eyes and you'll leave this dream
おやすみ、おやすみ
I know that it's hard to do
[Verse 2: bo en]
Days go by, しょうがない
Moments pass, shattered glass
Hands of time, where's that chime?
In my head
I'll just, I'll just
I'll just, I'll just
Hands (Hands!) of time will wring my neck
Every little moment spells regret
But I don't have to feel this way
As a voice inside my head
[Pre-Chorus: Utane Uta]
おやすみ
おやすみ
おやすみ
おやす—
[Chorus: bo en]
おやすみ、おやすみ
Close your eyes and you'll leave this dream
おやすみ、おやすみ
I know that it's hard to do
[Interlude]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
[Chorus: bo en]
おやすみ、おやすみ
Close your eyes and you'll leave this dream
おやすみ、おやすみ
I know that it's hard to do
おやすみ、おやすみ
Close your eyes and you'll leave this dream
おやすみ、おやすみ
I know that it's hard to do
