“Shadows of Youth Days_Seisyun no Kage_”(1974) TULIP Released on June 5, 1974 Words and music by Kazuo Zaitsu Arranged by Tulip, The long straight road that led me to your heart, It encouraged me in every moment It was a very, very steep and narrow path But now, I'm going to pick you up “Chasing my own big dream” I used to think it was my life's work But, “To make you happy ever”, that's what I'm going to do in my life. And It is the goal of my life from now on Since you have known to love When Tears spill out from your eyes You knew the joy of love may be only a bridge to the harshness of love You just stood there in the wind, and you found love Having wept in the strong wind And you became a Mature woman The road that leads to your house Now I can see it beneath my feet From now on You're just a woman as you are. From now on I’m just an ordinary guy. TULIP(1974)was...
