[Intro – soft piano chords, airy sax echoes, gentle cachón taps] [Verse 1 – female vocal, breathy and warm] Through the night, your light drifts near, floating soft, dissolving fear. Paper lantern hearts, they glow, in the breeze of what we know. [Pre-Chorus – subtle vibraphone accents, bass heartbeat steady] Fragile flames in endless skies, love that never says goodbyes. [Chorus – hushed, intimate harmonies, sax weaving between phrases] Paper lantern hearts, guiding us through the dark. Every spark a memory, holding you close to me. [Verse 2 – male vocal, tender and reflective] Silent rivers carry time, but your warmth still feels like mine. Shadows fall, yet still we burn, every page a path to learn. [Pre-Chorus – voices entwine, subtle rise] Fragile flames in endless skies, love that never says goodbyes. [Chorus – fuller, floating harmonies, sax takes flight] Paper lantern hearts, guiding us through the dark. Every spark a memory, holding you close to me. [Bridge – instrumental, piano and saxophone entwine in a soft, hopeful melody] [Final Chorus – whispered duet, layered with airy choral hums] Paper lantern hearts, still shining where we are. Through the haze, your light will stay, forever guiding my way. [Outro – lingering piano note fades into gentle night ambiance]
