Stars Above the Clouds
云端的星
Verse 1
QQ lights flicker through the long night
You said his avatar looks just like his eyes
Waves crashed along the shore that year
Sand grains lightly stuck to your cuffs
Messages fill the memorial wall
Every word holds a heartful thought
You stayed up late editing videos
Weaving old days frame by frame
Grandpa’s stories of Ultraman
Unfinished in the old courtyard
Silly QQ emojis hidden away
Bring tears to your eyes each time you play
Verse 2
Dim ward lights sway in confusion
Bitterness of pills can’t dim his bright eyes
We once promised to travel all the mountains
But fate blocked the road ahead
Stickers cover the old laptop
Worn edges still feel sweet
He loved the waves he loved the blue sky
And the sweet donuts from KFC
You collect every old photo
Trying to piece his complete image
Longing across mountains and seas
Flows slowly along the internet
Pre-Chorus
He turned into a star above the clouds
Shining down soft and clear
Unfulfilled childhood dreams
Still flying in the wind
Your digital magazine
Pages full of longing
Strangers’warmth pure and sincere
Across the distance still dear
Chorus
Stars above the clouds warm the passing years
Unbloomed flowers wait for spring to appear
Greetings on QQ a healing sweetness
You said you’ll find joy for him endlessly
Stars above the clouds light up the long night
Dear brave child don’t fear the dark night
Every greeting carries courage inside
With love by your side you can break all tides
Bridge
You flip through all the past
Trying to keep his sunshine last
I count fragments of memory
Looking for the wishes he used to see
Soft reminders on the phone
Warm texts kept for long
Friendship crossing stranger lines
Softens the long years of time
He once leaned on Grandpa’s shoulder
Falling asleep to stories told
Smiling toward the vast sea
Eyes full of endless light and gold
Chorus
Stars above the clouds warm the passing years
Unbloomed flowers wait for spring to appear
Greetings on QQ a healing sweetness
You said you’ll find joy for him endlessly
Stars above the clouds light up the long night
Dear brave child don’t fear the dark night
Every greeting carries courage inside
With love by your side you can break all tides
Outro
Stars above the clouds shine quietly
Warmth on QQ flows steadily
Words left unspoken turn to starlight
May he shine bright far in the night
