Lyrics:

Hiraku Genji: Star Light (Release date: Aug. 19, 1987)

淡いブルーの 季節の中で
何かを見てる Star Light Star Light
そんな夢は果てない Non Stop Dream
すれ違う度 瞳を伏せた日々
迷う心は Yes No Yes No
いつか光を求めてゆく

ほんの少しだけ 勇気を持てたら
涙の数さえ 格好悪いと思わない
そう これから

夢は Freedom Freedom シャボンのように
Freedom Freedom 風の色
伸ばした手のひらに
届け Rolling Rolling 消えないように
Rolling Rolling 抱きしめて
見つめた Ah Star Light

跳ねるステップ 酔わすバラード
あの娘に贈る Star Light Star Light
どんな音色添えようか Only You
物語なら ハッピーエンドを
なぞる気持ちで My Heart Your Heart
とても輝きだした恋さ

大人だからとか 子供だからとか
言葉の魔術で 愛を片付けられるのは
もう ごめんさ

夢は Freedom Freedom シャボンのように
Freedom Freedom 風の色
伸ばした手のひらに
届け Rolling Rolling 消えないように
Rolling Rolling 抱きしめて
見つめた Ah Star Light

Ah どうして こんなに苦しいの
胸に住んでる君のこと
確かめれば
瞬くハレーション もう離さない

夢は Freedom Freedom シャボンのように
Freedom Freedom 風の色
伸ばした手のひらに
届け Rolling Rolling 消えないように
Rolling Rolling 抱きしめて
見つめた Ah Star Light

ガラスの海で 憧れたちは
未来の空を 思い出してる

English translation (from https://lyricstranslate.com/en/hikaru-genji-star-light-english):

Starlight:

In the dull blue season,
…I find myself watching something….the starlight
Keep getting the same dream non-stop
Every time we meet, I always lower my gaze
My hesitating heart feels unsure
Someday I’ll find the light

If I could have even just a little courage,
…I won’t think crying is uncool
Yes, I should change from now on

Dreams are free like the soap bubbles
They’re free like the wind
On the palm of my outstretched hand,
…a dream lands, rolling and rolling like it will never stop,
…embracing me
Ah, the stars have been watching me

Dancing in nimble steps, singing an enchanting ballad…
…dedicated for her under the starlight,
…what key should I use for the accompanying music?
If this is a story, a happy ending will…
..follow with how the way we feel
Our love have started to shine so brightly

Called it childish or remind me to act like adult, still…
…I believe in the magic of words to sort out our relationship
For starters, I’m sorry

Dreams are free like the soap bubbles
They’re free like the wind
On the palm of my outstretched hand,
…a dream lands, rolling and rolling like it will never stop,
…embracing me
Ah, the stars have been watching me

All my longings reflected on the clear sea surface…
…are reminding me of the awaiting future sky.
