One Small Star

When I need to feel you near me
I stand in this quiet place
Where the silver light of countless stars
Falling on my face
Though they all shine so brightly
Somehow it comforts me to know
That some that burn the brightest
Died an eternity ago
Chorus
But your light still shines
Its one small star to guide me
And it helps me to hold back the dark
Your lights still shining in my heart
Im learning how to live without you
And I never thought I could
And even how to smile again
I never thought I would
And I cherish your hearts memories
Cause they bring you back to life
Some caress me gently
And some cut me like a knife
Chorus
Can your soul be out there some where
Beyond the infinity of time
I guess youve found some answers now
Ill have to wait for mine
When my light joins with yours one day
Well shine through time and space
And one day fall on a distant age
Upon some strangers face
But your light still shines
Its one small star to guide me
And it helps me to hold back the dark
Your lights still shining in my heart
Your lights still shining in my heart
