Description
This is an original Japanese composition by Jesushairdo which I translated and sang in English. It's not a word-for-word translation as that is impossible, but I extracted the essence of the song per Jesushairdo's description. I took liberties in modifying the melody in certain areas and added harmonies, but for the most part, I stayed dedicated to the spirit of the Japanese song. Jesushairdo did an amazing arrangement. I hope this song can even come close to the original.

Lyrics
AFTERGLOW (English Version)
(melody by Jesushairdo; lyrics and vocals by Leon)
(Touch/feel) the (rays/heat)
of the sun
in the dwindling
light of day
Chase a dream
in the night
it fades away
And I pretend
with a hope
these illusions
may be real
but I know
in my heart
they never will
No matter
how much I think of you
It's a vision
that always fades away
My imaginations
take my heart
to a dreamland in the (sunset/twilight)
and fantasies of sweet love
in the afterglow...
Catch the rays of the sun
it spills from my fingers
and drifts away
like castle made of sand
washed away by my tears
Disappears like a ghost (of/in) the night
Leaves me yearning for more
Catch the (song/waves) in the (air/sea)
it escapes from my fingers
and drifts away
But I'll never say never / (But my love is forever)
Feel the/my gentle caress
like the breeze and the warmth of the afterglow...

Audiologic
Your vocals are so clear and professional. The music is very well written
too. I like how you wait until almost half way through, extend a note, then
restart including the electric guitar. I also like the break before the last
vocal set.
You did a good job of translating and having the english vocals still go to
the beat.
