Thank You for Staying

#Thank You for Staying

You didn't promise

To fix everything

You simply stayed

Beside me

Some days I smile

Some days I don't

Some nights I have

No words at all

You make the tea

Turn down the lights

And sit with me

Until I'm fine

何（なに）も聞（き）かずに

そばにいてくれた

答（こた）えがなくても

待（ま）っていてくれた

弱（よわ）い私（わたし）を

変（か）えようとせずに

そのまま静（しず）かに

受（う）け止（と）めてくれた

Thank you for staying

When I had nothing to say

Thank you for staying

On my difficult days

You didn't save me

You didn't have to try

You were just there

Right by my side

After all these years

Now I understand

Thank you for staying

And holding my hand

We've both known loss

We've both known pain

We've watched our plans

Change with the years

There were mornings

We felt afraid

Still we found reasons

To face the day

失（うし）ったものを

数（かぞ）えた夜（よる）にも

あなたの温（ぬく）もりが

ここにあった

「大丈夫（だいじょうぶ）」なんて

言（い）わなくてもいい

一緒（いっしょ）にいるだけで

心（こころ）がほどけた

Thank you for staying

When I had nothing to say

Thank you for staying

On my difficult days

You didn't save me

You didn't have to try

You were just there

Right by my side

After all these years

Now I understand

Thank you for staying

And holding my hand

I used to think

Love needed words

Flowers and promises

Something to prove

Now when I wake

And you're still near

I know what love

Really means

愛（あい）してるよりも

伝（つた）えたい言葉（ことば）がある

そばにいてくれて

本当（ほんとう）にありがとう

嬉（うれ）しい日（ひ）だけじゃなく

涙（なみだ）の日（ひ）にも

私（わたし）の隣（となり）を

選（えら）んでくれたこと

これから私（わたし）も

あなたのそばにいたい

Thank you for staying

Through every change

Thank you for loving

The person I became

No perfect story

No perfect life

Just ordinary mornings

Side by side

If tomorrow brings

Another difficult day

I want to be the one

Who chooses to stay

Thank you for staying

All this time

Now let me stay

By your side

Morning light

Two cups of tea

Your quiet smile

Looking at me

No grand words

Are needed today

I touch your hand

And simply say

“Thank you

For staying.”
