As Is Lyrics English Translation by Roy Kim
I still remember
That night sky
When I first met you
Wishing this night
Would last forever,
I walked toward the shining stars
I wanted to bring you
Everything you ever dreamed of
But no matter how far I run,
I can’t seem to reach it
And today, I feel even smaller
Even if I’m not perfect,
Even if I complain sometimes,
Even if this moment
Isn’t quite like my dreams
Sometimes I fall,
But I get back up again
Hold me on days like that,
Love me as I am,
Just the way I am
I still remember
That beautiful smile of yours
When you accepted
My clumsy confession
Your smile that
Once eased my pain
Still keeps me breathing
When you’re in my arms,
It feels like holding the whole world
And when you take my hand,
It turns into poetry
I want to keep this moment
Forever in time
Even if I’m not perfect,
Even if I complain sometimes,
Even if this moment
Isn’t quite like my dreams
Sometimes I fall,
But I get back up again
Hold me on days like that,
Love me as I am,
Just the way I am
I’m afraid this feeling
Might fade with time
Afraid you and I
Might turn into just a memory
But I won’t let
Our love wither in doubt
So you’ll never be afraid,
So you’ll never feel alone,
Even in your darkest nights,
I’ll be right there
Even if nothing lasts forever,
Even if everything drifts apart,
Even if the world’s harsh gaze
Tries to tear us down
In a world that’s only ours,
I’ll give you my everything
I’ll protect you,
I’ll love you
Just the way you are
Just the way you are,
Just the way we are
