The moon and stars
In the dark night sky
They remind me of you
So bright, so beautiful, so far away.

Perhaps we still remember
Perhaps we had forgotten
Our first meeting
Our last farewell

Perhaps you will never remember
Perhaps you'd forgotten

But I still remember
I haven't forgotten
Our first encounter

We weren't together for long
But it's long enough
For you to affect me
For the effect was you reminding me
Of things I thought I've lost

Meeting you brought back memories
Seeing you made me remember again
Watching you brought back the feelings
That I thought I've lost for good

Seeing you chasing your dreams
Reminds me of my own dreams

You may not know this
But you made me dream the dream I've once dreamed
You made me want to achieve the goals I've once set
You gave me the strength to dream again
When I was ready to stop and give up

You who's like the moon and stars
So bright, so beautiful, so far away
Your dream have brought you far
While I have yet moved from this spot

It's sad, I'm aware, for I have not the courage
The feeling of achieving, it feels so estranged

You awoken something within
That I thought was long gone, dead
But still, yet, here I am, unmoving

Pathetic, scared, all the bad feelings
Strongly molded, sturdy
In between the spaces of my head

You, who's like the moon and stars
So bright, so beautiful, so far away
I'm afraid to stretch my hand out
You're too far for me to touch
Let alone hold

But no matter
Like the moon and stars
Up in the pitch black sky
I can always see you
Shining brightly, sparkling

You wouldn't know
But I'll be watching you
I'm content with that

The moon and stars
In the dark night sky
They remind me of you
So bright, so beautiful, so far away
