Ooh,
ooh
Ooh, ooh
I found a linen in the yard last night
It floated down like a paper kite
The glow was *** but it felt so bright
A secret wish in the endless sky
Who let it go?
Who
watched it rise?
Do they know it fell?
Do they realize?
Paper
lanterns drifting by Falling stars that
never fly
Tell me what you left behind
I'll keep your wish safe in my mind
The wind comes slow like a broken tune
The trees sway slow to a lonesome moon
I
wonder who
was there with you When you let that lantern loose
Did you whisper it's all?
Did you shout it loud?
Was it hope or pain in the floating cloud?
Paper
lanterns drifting by Falling stars that never fly
Tell me what you left behind
I'll keep your wish safe in my mind
