Once upon a time
in a snowy wintertime
just a few moments past midnight
it was a very cold night
a candle
stands alone
in the pale face
of the moon
the light far above
is glowing low
just a mirror
of the real shine
"Oh, could I be
just once like her"
they both give a sigh
of misguided dreams
as the one on the earth
is feeling far too small
the one in the skies is told
to not be enough herself
