Beneath the silver moon, I held you endlessly.
And danced the night with you,
'Cause you were meant for me.
The lights above the skies were burning in your eyes.
I gave my heart to you that paper lantern night.
[ CHORUS ]
But when you went away
all the light turned faint and gray.
Only darkness in the night.
Never thought that we said goodbye,
so I'll hold it all inside.
But I never will forget,
I close my eyes and think of when.
All the stars were shining bright,
like the light shining in your eyes.
As we danced all through the night
underneath the lantern sky.
And I held your hands in mine
underneath the lantern sky.

A magical surprise you gave me there that night.
You whispered in my ear the words I long to hear.
I wish that we could stay below the thousand lights.
And never let it fade our paper lantern night
