Starlight, Star bright

I recited the words

To the first star at night

And hoped and prayed

That I got them all right

 

I now lay awake and ponder

If my words were even heard

How is my lonely heart

To be made self-assured

 

Do wishes really come true?

Am I just fooling myself?

Do I put the broken pieces of my heart

Back high upon the shelf

 

I close my eyes to sleep

As confusion and dismay set in

For at least within my dreams

My hearts whole once again

 

The sunlight breaks

My night’s merciful sleep

And I remember my wish

In its belief I am set on to keep

 

I’ve patiently waited

Day after day

And night after night

I also did pray

 

The time did come

When my wish was finally heard

And happiness was now possible

And my broken heart was cured

 

I know it is now possible

For miracles and wishes to come true

This was revealed to me finally

That day I met you..
