Some days
I wait until the sun sets and
When it gets dark
I play your favorite songs
I sing along and light up a match
The match lights up a lantern
And then slowly that lantern
flies away
You loved it when it flew
I remember your face was glowing as you watched
The sky was so starry those summer nights
You were so happy and excited
Believing that the lantern lights up a path
To heaven
I remember so clearly
when you said that when you died
You wanted to be remembered by lanterns
You said that it would help your spirit finds its way to heaven
So that’s exactly what I did
I light up lanterns every night
So that your spirit can find peace
So, I can find peace
I light up lanterns every night because I miss you
I will always remember that you are my best friend
Even though you aren’t here right now
you became the lantern that lit up my life
and I will always cherish that
