Look to the lights, don’t be afraid
Follow the path the lanterns made
We call on you departed friends
Come be with us, let’s make this toast
And find once more the bond we lost

The chosen ones you must have been
For God takes first the best of men
Tonight we came across the seas
To celebrate the memories
That we all made in bygone days.

Life is a gift not meant to last
Then it is time to change to dust
Still it’s the best gift one can have
We best hold on to those we love
Keep in our hearts the ones with God.

Before you fade into the dark
We ask you now not to look back
A precious time this is for us
But there’ll be tears falling so fast
We have regrets this is our last.

Life is a gift not meant to last
Then it is time to change to dust
Still it’s the best gift one can have
We best hold on to those we love
Keep in our hearts the ones with God.

The sigh of waves from nearby shores
The empty shells on sandy floors
The starry skies that make one weep
The gentlest kiss, a passing breeze
This is a night one can’t forget.
END
