In loving memory of Roberta Norma Patricia Cramp, aka Grandma Norma.

(Japanese)
Doko ni yukebaii anata no hanarete
Ima wa sugisatta toki ni toi kakete
Nagasugita yoru ni tabi dachi wo yume mita
Ikoku no sora mitsumete kodoku wo dakishimete
Nagareru namida o toki no kaze ni kasanete
Owaranai anata no toiki wo kanjite
Dry your tears with love
Dry your tears with love
Loneliness, your silent whisper
Fills a river of tears through the night
Memory, you never let me cry
And you, you never said good-bye
Sometimes our tears blinded the love
We lost our dreams along the way
But I never thought you'd trade your soul to the fates
Never thought you'd leave me alone
Time through the rain has set me free
Sands of time will keep your memory
Love everlasting fades away
Alive within your beatless heart
Dry your tears with love
Dry your tears with love
Naganeru namida wo toki ni kaze ni kasanete
Owaranai kanashimi wo aoi bara ni kaete
Dry your tears with love
Dry your tears with love
Naganeru namida wo toki ni kaze ni kasanete
Owaranai anata no toiki kanjite
Dry your tears with love
Dry your tears with love
Dry your tears with love
If you could have told me everything
You would have found what love is
If you had told me what was on your mind
I would have shown you the way
Someday, I'm gonna be older than you
I've never thought beyond that time
I've never imagined the pictures of that life
For now, I will try to live for you and for me
I will try to live with love, with dreams
And forever with tears
(English)
Where do we go after we've separated?
Now that hanging question has passed
On an endless night, I dreamt of a journey
I gazed up at the odd skies and embraced my loneliness
Tears flow with the winds of time
It's not over yet, I feel your sigh
Dry your tears with love
Dry your tears with love
Loneliness, your silent whisper
Fills a river of tears through the night
Memory, you never let me cry
And you, you never said goodbye
Sometimes our tears blinded the love
We lost our dreams along the way
But I never thought you'd trade your soul to the fates
Never thought you'd leave me alone
Time through the rain has set me free
Sands of time will keep your memory
Love everlasting fades away
Alive within your beatless heart
Dry your tears with love
Dry your tears with love
Tears flow with the winds of time
Never-ending sadness changes into a blue flower
Dry your tears with love
Dry your tears with love
Tears flow with the winds of time
It's not over, I feel your sigh
Dry your tears with love
Dry your tears with love
Dry your tears with love
If you could have told me everything
You would have found what love is
If you could have told me what was on your mind
I would have shown you the way
Someday, I'm gonna be older than you
I've never thought beyond that time
I've never imagined the pictures of that life
For now, I will try to live for you and for me
I will try to live with love, with dreams
And forever with tears
I'll miss you, Grandma
