My Star

Our Love was once so sweet and pureFor all my pains she was the cureThe only girl that caught my eyeA single star that lit my sky

And there I thought she’d always beForever standing next to meHand-in-hand and heart-to-heartOur Love would never fall apart

But down upon my knees I kneelFor even though it felt so realThe star that is no longer mineIn someone else’s sky will shine

And on my shoulder sits the blameThe was that feeds a dying flameA choice that’s now a huge mistakeWhich left me drowning in the wake

So every night and ever dayTo the Lord I beg and prayThat I could have just one more chanceTo earn again that sweet romance

And once again I’d call her mineOur constellations back in lineAnd days would take the place of nightMy darkness filled by her sweet light
