you shone so very bright
you knew I'd been alone so long
you stayed with me that night
from that night on I understood
that you watched over me
and knowing that you were there
had finally set me free
my memories of you grew dim
my dawn began to show
I grew too sure of your cold light
for where would a shining star go?
I truly wish that I could say
I was grateful for your gift
but once my loves forgot me
alone again was I left
my thoughts once more turned to you
as lonely eyes searched the sky
alone you'd been left for too long
you'd left without a goodbye
and now I have learned a truth
you fell because of me
I thought you bound to me for life
but I had set you free
you could not wait for me forever
you fell from far above
didn't you know we hold the sky up
with just a little love?

Funny
I would have thought
my heart had left me
for I swear I lost it long ago
but tonight I felt it.
I could not hear its beat
nor could I sense its warmth
but tonight, sitting in the dark
I felt it break.
As I wished on every star
praying that I'd feel your touch
I could see your eyes in my mind
you've smiled at me and laughed with me
I've been seduced by my dreams
for you find me as I am now
alone in the dark.
On the floor I cry
for I fear the stars can't hear my distant plea
each tear that hits the floor
is one more tiny wish
for what will never be
