Paper Lantern - Hikaru Station

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»

(Ooh)

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

(Ooh)

Seconds to turn hours

(Ooh)

You’re gone without a sound

And I know

I have to let you go

You’re like a paper lantern
