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
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
Seconds to turn hours
You're gone without a sound
And I know
I have to let you go
You're like a paper lantern
