Lantern on the Lake

The lake was calm, like painted glass
Reflected stars from ages past
You held my hand, the world stood still
Our hearts aligned beneath that hill

There's a lantern on the lake
Glowing soft for old love's sake
Guiding me through all these years
Through joy and pain and silent tears
I still see that gentle light
Floating on a summer night
A quiet flame I'll never fake
That lantern on the lake

We whispered dreams to moonlit skies
Then watched them drift like fireflies
Your laughter danced across the shore
A sound I still come back here for

There's a lantern on the lake
Glowing soft for old love's sake
Guiding me through all these years
Through joy and pain and silent tears
I still see that gentle light
Floating on a summer night
A quiet flame I'll never fake
That lantern on the lake

When the night feels cold and wide
I find that light and go inside

There's a lantern on the lake
Glowing soft for old love's sake
Guiding me through all these years
Through joy and pain and silent tears
I still see that gentle light
Floating on a summer night
A quiet flame I'll never fake
That lantern on the lake
