Lyric

Beneath the lantern's silver hue

Your shadow swayed, my eyes on you

The piano hummed, the night took flight

A fleeting waltz in golden light

The air was warm, the stars alive

Each heartbeat raced, we couldn’t hide

The saxophone sighed where blossoms lay

Your gaze outshone the cabaret

Under the lantern glow we swayed

The world was ours, no debt to pay

A melody of you and me

Faint like the wind, yet bittersweet

The ticking clock, it pulled the strings

Our time was brief but grew such wings

I whispered words that fell like stars

They flickered lost, yet stayed afar

The scent of roses lingered still

While echoes climbed the quiet hill

Each note the bassline softly played

Carried the warmth that will not fade

Under the lantern glow we swayed

A song remains though night gives way

Its final chord will always be

A lantern's light in memory
