Lyric

A Distant Wish

Justin Otani

The light was gently swaying

Far beyond the silent sky

Even your smile faded slow

In dreams I knew would never fly

Holding a torn letter tight

Swallowing words I couldn't say

I never said goodbye to you

That answer lost along the way

Your voice, your touch, they feel like dreams

But you're still here inside of me

If I could go back to that day

I’d tell you “thank you” face to face

This love I couldn’t reach became

A petal drifting into space

Do we still gaze at the same stars?

Even inside your silent dreams?

I keep on singing quietly

In every pulse you cannot hear

I searched for you, but time moved on

Only your fragile warmth lives on

If someday fate brings us again

I’ll give you warmth, not words I send

If tears and sorrow stay with me

I’ll call them love until the end

Until my voice can reach your soul

I'll stay right here and keep you whole

I couldn’t say goodbye to you

But “thank you” still wraps around me

I send a wish to falling stars

Until the day we meet and see

Until the day we meet and see
