Dry out those tears
It don't matter
Don't look back
Leave it all behind
Take the key
And our favorite songs
And bring nothing else
But you and me
Let's drive into the city lights
Under the clear, starlit sky
Where we don’t have to
Fake our smiles
Feel my heart, and feel it burn
Feel it leap over the walls
Between my dream and reality
(Beyond the street)
I don't know where to go
Or where to look
(Beyond the town)
Let’s run, run to the land
That never sleeps
(Beyond the world where we are)
Drive into the night, you and me
Through to paradise
Swing your body
And count the stars in the sky
Pull the roof back
And feel the warm breeze
On your cheeks
Let’s go far, far, far away
A Summer's Dream
Shining red, green, yellow
Passing by all colors of life
I can't stop, I'm on a ride
Along the sea
Over the mountain
Where is the place
That I'm looking for?
(Beyond the street)
I don't know where to go
Or where to look
(Beyond the town)
Let’s run, run to the land
That never sleeps
(Beyond the world where we are)
Dream into the night, you and me
Through to paradise
Sing a sad song together
And laugh all the way
Keep on driving in the wind
And let it blow our tears dry
Let’s go far, far, far away
Just you and me
♫
Drive into the night, you and me
Through to paradise
Swing your body
And count the stars in the sky
Pull the roof back
And feel the warm breeze
On your cheeks
Let’s go far, far, far away
Far away!
Dream into the night, you and me
Through to paradise
Sing a sad song together
And laugh all the way
Keep on driving in the wind
And let it blow our tears dry
Let’s go far, far, far away
Just you and me

A Summer's Dream
Kaori MUKAI
With the afterglow of summer in the air, I just keep driving past the city lights chasing the warm breeze in the night. This is a new song released by Kaori for those who wish summer never ends.
Based off the feel of "Japanese City Pop", which is undergoing a global revival, the song welcomes Indonesian jazz pianist and drummer, giving it a more multicultural city pop sound. We recommend that you to add this song to your late summer playlist.
