Verse 1:
When I’m gone
No need to wonder
If I ever think of you
The same moon shines
The same wind blows
For both of us
And time is but a paper moon
Be not gone

Verse 2:
Though I’m gone
It’s just as though I hold
The flower that touches you
A new life grows, the blossom knows
There’s no one else
Could warm my heart as much as you
Be not gone

English Chorus:
Let us cling together as the years go by
Oh my love, my love
In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose
The lessons we have learned

Japanese Chorus:
Teo Torriate konomama iko
Aisuruhito yo
Shizukana yoi ni
Hikario tomoshi
Itoshiki oshieo idaki

Verse 3:
Hear my song
Still, think of me the way
You’ve come to think of me
The nights grow long
But dreams live on
Just close your pretty eyes
And you can be with me
Dream on

Japanese Chorus:
Teo Torriate konomama iko
Aisuruhito yo
Shizukana yoi ni
Hikario tomoshi
Itoshiki oshieo idaki

Bridge:
When I’m gone
They’ll say we’re all fools
And we don’t understand
Oh, be strong
Don’t turn your heart
We’re all, you’re all
For all, for always

English Chorus:
Let us cling together as the years go by
Oh my love, my love
In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose
The lessons we have learned
