When daylight ends
And the night draws closer
Often I simply close my eyes
And start to wonder
What lies beyond
Lies beyond those darkened skies
I drift past the moon
Towards the starlight
And I cant help asking myself
Why those stars shine so bright
One shines for love
One shines for peace
One makes people happy
But the brightest one of all is special
Because that star, is watching over me
It takes away my pain
Keeps me safe
And lights my path
Whatever road I take
Now I would like to ask that star
To look out for a friend of mine
Because I cant protect her anymore
Thus, I’m asking you
To spare a little of your time
Not simply out of love
Or just because she’s pretty
Just believe it when I say
This girl is rather special to me
So please my friend, take care of her
Protect her from all pain and tears
Be her guide and keep her safe
Like you have kept me
For so many years
And when she gazes
Up to the heavens
To look upon you
My special star
Please let her know you are watching over her
And shine your light
Upon her heart
And if she wonders what that light may be
I hope she falls in love with you
Because she never fell in love with me.
