Shooting star

Shooting star, shooting star
how I wonder what you are
Sometimes you're so very close
other times so far


When you're close, I hold you tight
I don't want you to go
I long to see you every night
more than you can know

The way you glow, the way you shine
I swear I feel your heat
I prayed one day you would be mine
and make my life complete


Midnight sky, midnight sky
my shooting star's so high
So beyond my outstretched reach
I have to say goodbye


My shooting star, you shot too high
Now what am I to do
I can't stay and watch you die
I have too much love for you

I tried to rein you in, my love
I did what I thought right
but you were happy high above
so please be safe tonight


Brand new day, brand new day
all I can do is pray
that tonight my star still shines
and didn't fade away...
