Shine down on me tenderly you bright night star
I know I can never be up where you are
Resting upon yourself in dark black light, all night
Content you beam, not like me I'm not one of your kind
On this sad day I've come here to watch you in the wonder of the sky
Hoping you might send an answer down your beaming light
Are you truly a stranger living up so high in the night?
Why do I look upon you with tears in my eyes?
I walk slow
down where we'd go
Where we've gone for so long
where you and I come from
The stars in the sky
they call my eye
I search but I'm not lost
I cry but it's not wrong
And I can see so much
much more than before
I know I can never be up where you are
Resting upon yourself in dark black light, all night
Content you beam, not like me I'm not one of your kind
On this sad day I've come here to watch you in the wonder of the sky
Hoping you might send an answer down your beaming light
Are you truly a stranger living up so high in the night?
Why do I look upon you with tears in my eyes?
I walk slow
down where we'd go
Where we've gone for so long
where you and I come from
The stars in the sky
they call my eye
I search but I'm not lost
I cry but it's not wrong
And I can see so much
much more than before
