That summer we were together
All of the memories we create
Simply for one another
Every paper crane made
A symbol of why you loved me
Through the long days in the fields
To the cool nights
Everyday represented by a paper crane
They all meant something
From you to me
Only from you
Never from me
You never taught me how
I didn't need to know
They were your gift to me
The only gift you needed
Was my love
And so I gave you my love
To you and you alone
When we were apart
You always said
That when ever I held
A paper crane
You would be thinking of me
And our love
Then the calls came
The papers were signed
The orders given
And the people beckoned
The time came
On the sad beautiful day
That day so long ago
When to said to me
Until I return
Keep this paper
As a reminder of me
And when I return
I shall fold it
Sealing our love forever
But the months pas
And the tears fell
The others came
They came with joy
And sorrow
But you never returned home
You never did come back
To the fields
cool nights
Or paper crane
Nor did you seal our love
Forever and always
