Wish upon a thousand stars

I made a wish on a thousand stars

and none of them came true

my eyes opened up at sunrise

but beside me it wasn't you

I thought that just maybe

this had all been a dream 

that the world had played a trick

and things weren't as it seemed

And I would wake up from this nightmare

of endless hours alone

and there you would sit so beautiful

in this place we made our home. 

So each morning I my eyes opened slowly

and I listened for your breath 

and I only saw an empty wall

around my heart the hand of death

Time passed by and I found a way

to put one foot in front of the other

but loving you with all that is me

leaves no room for loving another

So I melt into daydreams

I become a character in a book

I watch a drama on the tv

afraid to raise my eyes to look

If I glance around I'm reminded

that this is reality

that your life goes on so far away

and your heart beats without me. 

I guess that's how it goes 

fear and anger invaded my head

My heart stopped the moment you walked away

can you breathe if you're dead?

But somehow I continue to fool the world

and some days convince myself

that a happy ending is still possible

in our book upon that shelf.

So when I see a star shining in the night

I'll make another wish or two

that in this life or the next

I'll fall asleep holding you.
