Moon up high, moon far away Who is peeking down today? Lanterns sway, years unfold Who knows what\'s left untold? See through the city I hold A thousand lives unfold Leave me on the terrace of jade, icy cold A fleeting smile, a distant laugh Knock at my heart like endless calls Though lonely be my way I will bear the weight Silver moon in the sky How I wish I could embrace you tight Through the sorrow and joy Seekin\' the riddles of life If heaven and earth stay sound If no grief ever scars this ground Where the heart leads, like moonlight, beyond bounds I watch the lights from afar— A merry moonlit night Yet never may I draw near the cheer My lonely lamp, a limpid shadow And silver tears in longing still… I would raise the moonlight high Forevermore With the moon as my eyes I count the mortal lives passing by Drifting through the sands of time Leaving endless nights behind Will heaven and earth ever behold How this parting grief never grows old? Moon up high, moon far away Run and chase after the moon Time flies by, the moon stays Shines on us always
