Under faded cherry trees  
You were dancing just for me  
Quiet smile, no words to say  
But I still recall that day  
Paper lantern skies above  
Glowing like a quiet love  
In that moment, soft and slow  
You lit up the world I know  
Even now I close my eyes  
And I see those paper skies  
We were young, and time stood still  
Hearts like rivers, bending will  
Didn’t need a reason why  
Just the stars and you and I  
Paper lantern skies above  
Glowing like a quiet love  
In that moment, soft and slow  
You lit up the world I know  
Even now I close my eyes  
And I see those paper skies  
All the light we used to chase  
Still remains in every place  
When the night feels far too wide  
You’re still glowing in my mind  
Paper lantern skies remain  
In the scent of summer rain  
Even if we drift apart  
You still float inside my heart  
As I whisper my goodbyes  
To those paper lantern skies
