Little Star Up in the Clouds
云端的小星辰
Verse 1
Your QQ avatar lights up again
You sent me a goodnight message then
You said his curved smile reminds you
Of the little regret deep inside you
Photos by the sea still remain
Waves wet the cuffs of his jeans
On the memorial message board
You wrote down all your yearning
Video clips edited late at night
Loop his smiling face in sight
The past left unsaid
Hidden in every frame
Verse 2
Ward lights used to sway to and fro
Medicine smell can’t hide his glow
We promised to take him far away
But fate pressed pause on that day
Grandpa’s story of Ultraman
Stuck at the most exciting part
Silly look in QQ emojis
Brings tears to your eyes easily
You collect every old photo
To piece his whole time together
Longing across mountains and seas
Flows slowly along the internet
Pre-Chorus
He turned into a little star in the clouds
Blinking as if tired and worn
Childhood not yet fully born
Still spreading in his dream
Your digital magazine
Pages full of longing
Strangers’warmth across the miles
Remains unchanged all the while
Chorus
Little star in the clouds spreads longing all over the sky
Unbloomed flowers still wait for spring to arrive
Greetings on QQ a healing sweetness
You said you’ll see all joy for him completely
Little star in the clouds shines care upon the world
Dear brave child don’t fear the dark curled
Every greeting carries courage inside
With love by your side you can pass all tides
Bridge
You flip through all the past
Trying to keep his image last
I count fragments of memory
Looking for the wishes he used to see
Time that didn’t get to stay
Turns into starlight on its way
Friendship crossing stranger lines
Warms the long years of time
Chorus
Little star in the clouds spreads longing all over the sky
Unbloomed flowers still wait for spring to arrive
Greetings on QQ a healing sweetness
You said you’ll see all joy for him completely
Little star in the clouds shines care upon the world
Dear brave child don’t fear the dark curled
Every greeting carries courage inside
With love by your side you can pass all tides
Outro
Little star in the clouds shines softly bright
Warmth on QQ sings gently light
Words left unspoken turn to starry glow
May he shine clear in peace he grows
