Ten thousand faces
In the light of day
Tell them when
To laugh or cry.
Only meeting under
The watchful star's
Shimmering glow.
A single teardrop falls.
A phantom kiss is given
By the autumn breeze.
Their precious time alone,
Welcoming the moon
That gives their romance life.
At the foot of stone lovers in the park.

Tell them when
To laugh or cry.
Only meeting under

Shimmering glow.
A single teardrop falls.
A phantom kiss is given
By the autumn breeze.
Their precious time alone,
Welcoming the moon
That gives their romance life.
At the foot of stone lovers in the park.
