Lyric

Born from a golden bamboo stalk beneath the moon

A little light appeared and grew too soon

A secret from a world beyond our own

A precious child who never could belong

Three short months passed like a dream in spring

She brought a quiet joy to everything

But somewhere deep inside, she always knew

The moon would one day come to take her home

More precious than eternal life

More precious than the stars above

The greatest gift that fate could give

Was simply knowing how to love

Don't look up at the full moon tonight

Don't let its silver light take me away

If you can smile for me one last time

I'll carry that smile beyond today

When I wear the robe of feathered white

The memories of Earth will disappear

But even if I forget your name

I know your love was waiting here

I grew beneath the kindness of your hands

And learned to love this beautiful land

Princes came with treasures from afar

But none could reach the heart behind the stars

Five impossible dreams were placed before them

Promises were made beneath the moon

But every road that brought them to my door

Could never change the ending coming soon

I always knew the night would come

When I would have to say goodbye

That's why I held each precious day

And loved beneath the changing sky

Don't look up at the full moon tonight

Don't let its silver light take me away

If you can smile for me one last time

I'll carry that smile beyond today

When I wear the robe of feathered white

The memories of Earth will disappear

But even if I forget your name

I know your love was waiting here

The heavenly chariot waits above

The messengers have come to take me home

I turn around and look at Earth

The only place where I have ever loved

One final breath beneath the sky

One final tear before I fly

The world below is fading in the blue

But part of me will always stay with you

Don't look up at the full moon tonight

I'm returning where the cold stars shine

Even if the years erase our memories

Your love was once forever mine

So let the potion of eternal life

Fade away beneath the morning sun

For nothing lasts forever in this world

But love can live when everything is gone

When you see the moonlight

Remember me tonight

I may forget the world below

But I was here

And I loved you
