Bow down sweet star in the early twilight

Just before the dawn

And touch the horizon that I set my wish upon

Consider as you hear what I say

Whether you will take the night

And turn quietly away

Or whether you will swing low

And gather my heart in your hands

And take me to the hidden places that you go

I've watched you quietly all this time

From the sunset of my dream until now

You have been a guiding light and my hope

When the darkness threatened to swallow all my tears

And even the moon turned its eyes to another sphere

You were still the brightest star in my sky

As your light flickers in the fading depth of my mind

And all my tomorrows hinge upon a single question

Will you grant this desperate heart one day to love you?

One chance to ride the wind that carries your celestial grace

And meet with you in that secret place

Where your heart is quiet and real and has no secrets

In the daylight; you cannot be seen and I have no way to know

If you have heard my voice; if you have bent your ear

And if my wish has touched your heart at all

Soon the sunrise will come and our own lights shall be hidden

The natural light that hides in your eyes forever

And the lantern I have that shines on for you

Oh gentle star up in the sky

How could anyone not admire you?

(as have I)

I make my wish upon a star so sweet

Until the last light of the heavens is replaced

With only the memory of the smile on your face
