Visions of you overflowed my mind
But I’m still breathing in the empty time
After you have gone
Something about the way you laugh and talk
Still echoes in my mind
Caught in a luscious illusion
It makes me spin in slow motion
But it fades when I close my eyes
Caught in a luscious illusion
It makes me spin in slow motion
But it fades when I close my eyes
After you have gone
If you’re not here, where do I belong
‘Cause every shadow still feels like you
I will keep reaching for the afterglow
Of a love that won’t let go
Visions of you overflowed my mind
But I’m still breathing in the empty time
After you have gone
Something about the way you laugh and talk
Still echoes in my mind
Caught in a luscious illusion
It makes me spin in slow motion
But it fades when I close my eyes
Caught in a luscious illusion
It makes me spin in slow motion
But it fades when I close my eyes
After you have gone

Gaku Kano
