何気なく あなたに
逢いたくて 二人で歩いた
季節はずれの ポプラ並木
一人で 歩いて みたけど
いたずら好きの 風に
あなたの声を そっと 聞くだけ
さりげなく 私は
振り向いて 記憶を辿るの
見つめ合ってた 小さなカフェも
今では 扉を 閉ざした
たぞがれ迫る 街に
涙の粒も 溶けてゆくだけ
いつものように あなたは
微笑んで 遠い想い出
季節はずれの 見知らぬ浜辺
一人で 歩いて みたのよ
いたずら好きの 砂に
小さな愛を そっと 消すため
いつのまに 私も
少しだけ 明日を見つめて
季節はずれの 静かな海へ
一人で 訪ねて みたのよ
たそがれ色の 波に
あの日の二人 忘れるために
たそがれ色の 波に
あの日の二人 そっと 消すため

I always loved you
Takemi Otsuki
I began writing lyrics and music in the latter half of junior high school. I started by having my music teacher correct me and writing songs to lyrics spelled out by a girl in my class.
Her name was Ms. Nancy.
From that time on, I wrote the lyrics first and then spun the melody. We went to separate high schools, but we exchanged lyrics like a correspondence. We wrote more than 30 songs together in that way.
When I put music to the lyrics that someone else had written, I would encounter word choices and word arrangements that I had not envisioned, and the melodies inspired by them would become gems of music that would not have come from my own lyrics.
For this album, I decided to bring back the nostalgic memories of those days and to convey new life to those songs, so I newly arranged, performed, and sang almost all the songs with supplementary lyrics, while using DTM, an electronic piano-based system.
And in her honor, we decided to call it "Dear Nancy".
And for the lyric card, we asked pupapo design to illustrate and draw the lovely scenes attracted by each song with a touch of watercolor painting. I would like to express our deepest gratitude to them.
