you left this Earth to go back home
and so tonight, we say "Goodnight"
We bring to you these little gifts
In between our endless cries
we bring to you a paper crane
so bring it, please, to up above
remember, inside there is a message
an open expression of our friendly love
you'll take this crane and bring it home
you'll hold it close, and as we cry
you'll read to us that little message
repeat to us, "Love Doesn't Die"
also to you, we bring a special rose
of a beautiful and violet shade
"for every rose, there is a thorn"
is what history would always say
but yours has zero of these thorns
because your beauty brought no pain
so take your open, loving arms
embrace the stars, and fly away
