Alone at night with sleepless eyes The starlit sky don't seem to mind A candle's burnin' a hundred years Like a baby cryin' a thousand tears But it's been so long And the days go on and on A town is sleepin' across the sea In a land that's only a memory A red sun's risin' as if to say "Don't ever leave me, don't go away" But I gotta be strong As time goes on and on What can I do in dreams so blue where I see you My little Japan, my little Japan Morning's comin' through evening's rest I've tried my hardest, I've done my best Is it right to say to you What my spirit's calling for me to do? But I can't be wrong I gotta go on and on Along the way, I'll hope and pray I can see the day I could be with you, my little Japan I can be with you
