Dreamer dreams, blossom springs Colour follows you around A paper queen, flickering I hear nothing but the sound I hope it happens before the candle blows out Before your memories fade I hope you're ready for when the stars come out Don't be afraid, don't run away, tonight I want to see you Floating on a sea of light Chinese lanterns in the sky Sailing over you and I Chinese lanterns guide us tonight Ocean swell on heaven's stage A wind that whistles to the tune Broken bell in a hollow cage I know you'll be back with me soon You know I'll follow wherever the wind may blow Don't be afraid, don't run away, tonight I want to see you Floating on a sea of light Chinese lanterns in the sky Sailing over you and I Chinese lanterns guide us tonight As one dancing figurine came sailing into view I know I saw your face the way you want me to And then just like in a dream the night burst like the flowers bloom Just for us Floating on a sea of light Chinese lanterns in the sky Sailing over you and I Chinese lanterns guide us tonight
