Your Number One |

| Everybody remembers where they were the first time they heard little Ruri-chan pour her heart into this song during the Nadesico talent competition/swimsuit episode. It's no surprise that she won. The pure emotion of the song was hard to duplicate, and indeed was one of the harder ones to write. But I had to... or else Ruri would call me an idiot. | |||||||||||||||
(I Want to Be) Your Number One
Keeping all the feelings that I wouldn't dare to say.
Feelings that I have for you, they're growing every day.
But although, I may never know
Just how low the odds are that you'll someday turn my way.
I look at your eyes, the way your love is all they see.
Never moving, not deterred, staring innocently.
But today, only for a day, take a look around and
Rest those longing eyes at me, in that way.
Maybe if I met you before all the rest.
If I stole your heart before anyone else could.
Would we be satisfied? Would love really reside?
In my heart, the way I hoped it would.
Here we are again. Can we start again?
If we did it over, would you fall for me then?
Time will come when, all's said and done-
And I want to be your number one.
How can it make me feel bad to see you all the time?
How can I be happy if your smile can't be mine?
Is it greed? Must I now concede
This unspoken need that keeps on leaving me to pine, as I bleed.
Maybe if you kept away from all the rest.
If we stole away and you became my lover.
If these thoughts are sincere, should I be leaving here?
Leaving you, so that I can be sure?
Am I hurting you? Could I hurt you?
Is it better off if I'm left feeling blue?
One thing is true. One thing's for sure:
You're my number one forevermore.
Maybe if I met you before all the rest.
If I stole your heart before anyone else could.
Would we be satisfied? Would love really reside?
In my heart, the way I hoped it would.
Here we are again. Can we start again?
If we did it over, would you fall for me then?
Time will come when, all's said and done-
And I want to be your number one.
