1000 Lanterns

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.

People don't know
and I'm so slow
Don't want you to go
away
People don't see
I'm down on my knees
Begging please
stay
People don't cry
I don't know why
it's a never ending sigh
today
People don't care
That I will gladly share
it's not just a pair
of two
