Dmaj7
You're like a paper lantern
Amaj7
I let go too quickly
E7                   Amaj7
As I watched you fly higher and higher
Dmaj7
Night falls upon us slowly
Amaj7
You whisper behind me
E7                     Amaj7
"Please forget those unpleasant memories"
Dmaj7 Amaj7 D
(Ooh)
                Amaj7
Don't disappear now
Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dm7
(This wind)
   D7             Amaj7
Is gone without a sound
Dmaj7
Silence pierces through me
Amaj7
I reach out for your face
E7                     Amaj7
Shards of time scatter all around me
Dmaj7
Fireworks blossom skyward
Amaj7
The festival is over
    E7               Amaj7
How fleeting is this life we live
Dmaj7 Amaj7 D
(Ooh)
                Amaj7
Seconds to turn hours
Dmaj7 Amaj7 D
(Ooh)
                      Amaj7
You're gone without a sound
      Em7 E7
And I know
  A        Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7
I have to let you go
