The Brightest Star Above

Some say that the stars are just our dreams
That float above the clouds,
Of a love so strong it never breaks,
Never falters or wears down.

And if I searched for all my life
All the world I would survey,
And never found that love again,
I’d be content to stay.

But you, my Love, have found me here,
When I was dark and cold,
And lifted me above the clouds
And made me strong and bold.

I felt you in my heart, a voice
That followed in my dreams,
I turned around and there you were,
Just beneath the seams.

And I just have but this to say:
I’ll love you ‘til I die,
And even when I am no more,
In your dreams, I’ll still fly.

And now that it has been a year,
The brightest star above
Is, and was, and will be you- -
Remember this, my Love.

I’ll love you for forevermore,
When all the world is gone,
And even when the stars go out,
Our love will still go on.
