[Verse] A candle flickers in the dark Its flame so small yet it leaves a mark The room is quiet like a sleeping park [Prechorus] I fold the paper with trembling hands Hoping it speaks what my heart demands [Chorus] A thousand paper cranes I send to the sky Each one a wish for you to know why Why the stars still whisper your name Why the moon reflects my endless flame [Verse 2] The wind it carries forgotten songs Whispers of love where my heart belongs A fragile echo where the soul prolongs [Prechorus] The folds grow sharper the paper thins But love is patient it never rescinds [Chorus] A thousand paper cranes I send to the sky Each one a wish for you to know why Why the rain feels warm when I cry Why the sunset burns and never says goodbye
