Lately he's been thinking
Been thinking of Japan
And every time he hears
The word he feels like crying
Oh, he's never even been there
But he's been close to you
Close enough to feel somehow
Everything you're feeling now
Thinking of Japan
Thinking of Japan
Thinking of Japan
The earliest memory of you
Your dancing shape that graced the view
Against the backdrop of the bay
The blue hills slipping through their shades
It was just a photo
(It was just a photo)
A simple photo of Kyoto
I might go alone
Thought you'd like to know
Thinking of Japan
Thinking of Japan
Thinking of Japan
Thinking of Japan
I don't know how to pass the time
I don't know how to pass the time
I don't know
I don't know
(Thinking, thinking of Japan)
I don't know how to pass the time
(Thinking, thinking of Japan)
I don't know
I don't know
(Thinking, thinking of Japan)
I don't know
Lately I've been dreaming
Dreaming of Japan
And every time I hear
The word I feel like sighing
