Paper Lantern

You're like a paper lantern I let go too quickly As I watched you fly higher and higher Night falls upon us slowly You whisper behind me "Please forget those unpleasant memories" Oh Don't disappear now This wind Is gone without a sound Silence pierces through me I reach out for your face Shards of time scatter all around me Fireworks blossom skyward The festival is over How fleeting is this life we live Oh Seconds to turn hours Oh You're gone without a sound And I know I have to let you go You're like a paper lantern --- Paper Lantern - Hikaru Station
