The empty sea... The white sands on the beach... Early in the morning after studying all night, when I'm caressed by the sea breeze, I always feel refreshed. On the sandy beach, the waves soak my bare feet. I want to be carried away like I'm in the sea. Someday, somewhere, by the wonderful person I know I'll meet. I want to be carried away.
Last night, when I closed by notebook and took a nap, I had a dream. His figure was vague, and I couldn't see well, but... On his light brown skin, a white T-shirt, and long and slender jeans on his legs. A wonderful man. I feel a premonition of love. But then he vanished into the twilight, as if he was swept away by the wind.
I want to be called softly... Even if by just one word... "Ami-chan"... Someday, somewhere, by the wonderful person I know I'll meet. I want him to call me that.
The sky I see looking through the astronomical telescope is like a very, very clear river. I think it's because of the music angels play at the ends of the starry sky.
I am Mizuno Ami. I am the soldier of knowledge, and I carry the protection of the planet of water, Mercury. I am Sailor Mercury.
Please, listen softly to the clear, quiet music flowing through the sky.
The dreams of thousands of stars. The sighs of hundreds of millions of those with life. In there lies the hidden philosophy. In my singing Mercury Harp, as well, there is the melody of love and war...
Mercury Crystal Power, Make Up! Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!! I am the sailor-suited pretty soldier of love and intelligence, Sailor Mercury!
Oh, the end. When I finish reading a book, my heart spreads out like a plain. I also have a loneliness like I'm going to look back without being able to feel excited anymore. At those times I turn another page.
I wonder how vast the world can be. I wonder how many variations there can be in the words people have.
But... The one I finished reading now was a very, very short and small love story with just a few words.
Everyone who passes by everyday on the street corner forgets likes it's ordinary.
Before school in the classroom, I go through the still-young heroines.
In the crowds in buildings in the evening, I search for secret love partners I can't tell to anyone.
When the day ends and I'm in bed, the words I've softly repeated so many times.
I wonder what kind of book I'll read tomorrow. A biography would be nice. So would putting together a dictionary of countries I haven't seen yet in the library.
But I'll buy another mountain of thin paperbacks at the bookstore, and put in my favorite bookmark at the park.
Good night. Sweet dreams.
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
Will you remember all the good times we've had?
The hardest thing about leaving is saying goodbye...
We'll always be the greatest of friends,
I'll miss you more than I can say,
And when you dream, I'll be there for you,
I'll be only a memory away...
We'll always be the greatest of friends,
I'll miss you more than I can say,
And when you dream, I'll be there for you,
I'll be only a memory away...
You're something special to me,
Friendship is something that money can't buy,
And if you need me, you know that I'll be there for you...
We'll always be the greatest of friends,
I'll miss you more than I can say,
And when you dream, I'll be there for you,
I'll be only a memory away...
We'll always be the greatest of friends,
I'll miss you more than I can say,
And when you dream, I'll be there for you,
I'll be only a memory away...
I hear the voice of my destiny call,
And I know I must go find my way,
The hardest part will be leaving you all,
And I'll miss you much more than words can say.
I'll be only a memory away,
If you need me,
You can call me any time of day,
I'll be there, it's OK,
Only a memory away.
My intuition says something is wrong,
My friends said they'd come and say goodbye,
I can't go until I know what's going on,
I fear there is danger somewhere nearby.
I'll be only a memory away,
If you need me,
You can call me any time of day,
I'll be there, it's OK,
Only a memory away.
We've been together through good times and bad,
You've always been there for me,
I'll always treasure the best friends I have,
Eternally.
Only a memory away,
If you need me,
You can call me any time of day,
I'll be there, it's OK,
I'm only a memory away.
Only a memory away,
If you need me,
You can call me any time of day,
I'll be there, it's OK,
Only a memory away.
Only a memory away
Only a memory away
On a rocky shore, I feel the wind,
The deadly speed, conjuring up the last bit of fear of my heart.
It cannot continue, for my fragile spirit is not what my whole appears to be.
Luna! We must protect each other, until the feline of Mercury returns!
And when she does, only will the Moon's Rock keep our minds apart.
My ice barricades me from the world.
Lost in the tresses of my sketches, will I forever be doomed?
Amy, come and take it away.
May the waters of your planet guide you, and forever be my half.
Am I alone? The world scours me, creating hallucinations and fears of men.
Not one may have me, own, keep, or take me.
But until that one that I have dreamed of since the Silver Millenium rises above the rest,
My Guardian,
My Lover,
My Soulmate...
Shall the dawn of three planets rise above the sea.
