"When mom closed her eyes
And let go of my hand,
From that point, I felt the bluebird in my life had flown away forever,
Never to return...
But...
When I grasped Al's warm hand again,
And saw his gentle smile once more,
I suddenly felt I was within the blue skies,
And saw a glimpse of the bluebird...
I have nothing more I can hope for...
I just wish... I just wish we can always be like this-
Wishing all this will never disappear...
I only wish that bluebird...
...won't be just another unattainable illusion.
