One Small Star

Eric Bogle.

ref: Sept  99 Heroinsight

When I need to feel you near me
I stand in this quiet place
With the silver light of countless stars
Falling on my face
Though they all shine so brightly
Somehow it comforts me to know
That some who burn the brightest
Died an eternity ago.

But your light still shines
As one small star to guide me
And to help me hold back the dark
Your lights still shining in my heart.

I'm learning how to live without you
Though I've never thought I could
And even how to smile again
And I never thought I would
And to cherish the heart's memories
That can bring you back to life
Though some caress me gently
And some cut me like a knife.

Can your soul be out there somewhere
Beyond the infinity of time?
I guess you've found some answers now
I'll have to wait for mine
Till my light joins with yours someday
To shine through time and space
And one day fall in a distant age
Upon some stranger's face.

But your light still shines
As one small star to guide me
And to help me hold back the dark
Your lights still shining in my heart.
