Falling Star





I saw a falling star
Deep in the dead of night
Nothing else in the sky
Just a fading a light

Took me back
Days of the young
Memories of innocence
So many years long gone

Remembering that old wives tell
I just couldn't help but wonder
What could come from wishing upon a star
My heart rang like thunder

As a kid, I wished for it all
Dreams a miles long
Childish little things
Harmless and seemingly small

Never a glimmer
Never a glance
Nothing ever came upon
My wishes never stood a chance

Still tonight I wished upon its light
Only those truly yearned
Things longing for a start
Simple things true to heart

Those that fill my dreams
Nothing like that childhood day
Stories of love and life untold
Things that keep from growing old

Yes tonight I wished upon a star
Deep in the dead of night
Praying that this time they come to life
Born from that little fading light
