You, oh pretty thing
A little spark that marks the waning of the spring
Can you be my guide?
And can we dance beneath the crystal evening sky?
The way you shine against the dark
As if the sunset split apart into a million twinkling lights
Catch your glow between my hands
Someday we'll both understand why I release you to the night
Oh my little lantern
Maybe we both were meant to fly
You, we're miles apart
And through it all you know I keep you in my heart
Cold, the winter brings
And if I don't let go I'm scared I'll clip your wings
The way you shine against the dark
As if the sunset split apart into a million twinkling lights
Catch your glow between my hands
Someday we'll both understand why I release you to the night
Oh my little lantern
Maybe we both were meant to fly
The way you shine against the dark
As if the sunset split apart into a million twinkling lights
Catch your glow between my hands
Someday we'll both understand why I release you to the night
Oh my little lantern
Maybe we both were meant to fly
Oh my little lantern
Maybe we both were meant to fly
