[Куплет 1] Your cup left a ring On the old pine table I keep it there Like a little small prayer The curtain moved slow With the evening air And i stood by the door Just to feel you there [Алдынғы қайырма] I still know the shape Of your quiet laugh Like a soft folded note That i can't give back [Қайырма] Stay in my hands Stay like a song Paper lanterns Glow all night long Stay in my hands Don't fade away Paper lanterns Hold me today [Куплет 2] Your blue wool scarf Still sleeps by the chair And the porch steps creak With your name in the air I pour tea for two Then i set it down Half for the past Half for the now [Алдынғы қайырма] I still hear your keys In the half-lit hall Just a little soft tap When the house is small [Қайырма] Stay in my hands Stay like a song Paper lanterns Glow all night long Stay in my hands Don't fade away Paper lanterns Hold me today [Көпір] If i close my eyes You come back clear Faint as a hymn But warm and near I won't hold too tight I won't make you stay Just let your light Touch me this way [Қайырма] Stay in my hands Stay like a song Paper lanterns Glow all night long Stay in my hands Don't fade away Paper lanterns Hold me today
