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
