about

This is a love song that feels the sadness of the end of summer.
It has been four years since Rie Aono's solo album "PASTORAL" released on Vivid Sound in 2017 became a hot topic among music fans such as city pop lovers and AOR. This collaboration was born naturally through interaction with The Bookmarcs, who is also well-known for adult pop music with 70's AOR, soft rock, and a faint 80's taste.
The lyrics of this song are written by Rie Aono. Toru Horasawa of The Bookmarcs composes, arranges and produces sound.

lyrics

「Never Can Say Goodbye」

(Never can say goodbye)
(If you gonna tell me why)
(Never can say goodbye)
(If you let me love again)

水面に映る　空模様
微かに響く　雷鳴に
風が知らせる　ラストステップ　あなた　
涼しげに揺れて　眩しい

Never can say goodbye
降り出した雨に
夢の終わりは　
気づかないふりして
たった今だけ
ああ　青い夏のままで

Never can say goodbye
傘も差さないまま見つめあった
この恋が　乾いてしまう前に

水彩の街　色褪せて
いつでも少し　ひとりきり
冷たい肩を　そっと　寄せて　
優しい嘘が　かなしい

Never can say goodbye
間違ったままで
雨が止むまで　
寄り添いあえたなら
もう一度だけ　
ああ　青い夏のままで

Never can say goodbye
永遠の隙間からこぼれ落ちた
この恋は　まつげを濡らして　目を伏せた

Never can say goodbye
If you gonna tell me why
たった今だけ
ああ　青い夏のままで

Never can say goodbye
If you let me love again
この雨が　流してしまう前に
