Destined for the Stars
Here in this dark room,
I here your voice far away;
I want to reach out to you,
See your smile again,
Feel your arms round me
Just once more.
Outside the wind sighs,
And the snow falls softly,
Brushing like icy feathers
Against my windowpane.
I remember your warmth,
And I long to be.
Midnight creeps softly,
Passing sweet passage;
Crying for someone
To take it by the hand.
The night is forgotten,
Discarded for dreams.
The light in my eyes
Dims with the stars,
Longing for your smile
Just once more.
You promised you'd come,
For a final goodbye.
In a time and place untold,
I will still be waiting,
And when you finally
Rejoin the sky,
I'll fly into your arms
And forever there we'll stay.
Find your happiness,
You must love life while you can,
For that is my gift to you.
But do not forget me,
I will still be waiting,
For we have a love
Destined to outlive eternity.
The morning calls me,
There is nothing for me here.
I hear children's laughter,
But all alone tonight
The memories are all too clear,
And a single crystal tear
Rolls down my face.
Far away, you weep tonight,
But please do not fear.
I'll be with you always,
My spirit lives on in you.
I may have had to leave this world,
But I died to save what I hold dear
For there is nothing stronger than love.
As my candle flickers,
The flame disappears forever,
And I can no longer stay.
I stand in the pale moonlight,
Spread my wings to fly,
I smile softly and cry.
