My Happy Marriage Season 2 Opening Song Lyrics
[Verse 1]
During the cherry blossom season
The most important person
Is closest to me
We share a joyful promise
I also love your weaknesses
You are now beside me, as I once wished
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it really possible for life to take such a dramatic turn?
Years go by, yet I still fall in love
Again and again
May you, too, experience this
[Chorus]
I became myself because of you
Your presence made it possible
I cherish your smile and gestures
I long to see them, ah
[Post-Chorus]
Being held tightly
Ah, I’m overwhelmed with happiness
Tears fall
It’s because of you
I yearn to touch you
To be touched by you
Only you
[Verse 2]
You treat me with kindness
The most precious person to me
Prioritizes me
Being unseen by others
I thought being alone
Was where I belonged
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But now, I’m no longer afraid
Even if reborn, I’ll remain myself
Even when you’re not by my side
I feel your presence
It’s mysterious
May you, too, experience this
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I’m currently incredibly happy
It’s somewhat frightening
But your gentle hands offer comforting warmth
Tonight, the moon is beautifully lit
[Chorus]
I became myself because of you
Your presence made it possible
I cherish your smile and gestures
I long to see them, ah
[Post-Chorus]
The two of us from now on
Will be together
Staying like this forever sounds good
This is our Cinderella story
Such a joyful promise
