Shooting Stars


I see two stars in blinding light
hovering lost in the winter's night
and if by chance
you should look up
they will cross the sky
to meet again

And as they move to meet each other
the moon will shine
over child and mother
the breathtaking moment arrives
as the moon decides to turn blank
and all that we can see
is the light of lost love's stars

The stars have touched
forever the glory will last
they cover one another
but just for a moment
they are on their way now
and should you remember them
soon will flow the tears

The spirits of the shooting stars
will forever stay and shine
and in everlasting glory
the story will rise
now the stars
must wait another lifetime
until they can meet again
