I Finally Found It

I have been looking this song for quite a long time. I heard it played and sung many times -- including by my dad and brother who both served missions in Japan. This afternoon I thought I would site down and search the internet until I found it. Given that I didn't know the title, artist, or lyrics, it took me a little while. But, sure enough, I found it, and here is a video of it from YouTube. Enjoy "Sukiyaki," or, as more appropriately titled, "Ue o muite arukou" (I look up as I walk) by Kyu Sakamoto:

I look up as I walk
So that the tears won't fall
Remembering those those spring days
But I am all alone tonight

I look up as I walk
Counting the stars with tearful eyes
Remembering those summer days
But I am all alone tonight

Happiness lies beyond the clouds
Happiness lies up above the sky

I look up as I walk
So that the tears won't fall
Though the tears well up as I walk
For tonight I'm all alone tonight
(whistling)

Remembering those autumn days
But I am all alone tonight

Sadness lies in the shadow of the stars
Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon

I look up as I walk
So that the tears won't fall
Though the tears well up as I walk
For tonight I'm all alone
(whistling)

what's new?

i recommend...
