If I flew a 1000 paper lanterns

Way up in the sky

Would you see them from your window

If they flew real high?

 

Would 1000 paper lanterns

Travel that far away?

A 1000 miles through the air

Could they go that far today?

 

Would you know when you saw them

That they came from my heart

That I miss you so much every day

And we are so far apart.

 

And when your sister follows soon

My world will fall apart

And I will send a 1000 lanterns

For both daughters of my heart.

 

And when you see them in the air

Know they are from me.

And that I will love you both

From now through Eternity.

 My beautiful girls.
