One
One star fell for you tonight
In a deepening turquoise sky
Shimmering as it crossed the blue
As if to say goodbye
Our love burned as bright as this
Devotion few have known
Ever sweet as our first kiss
A lovelight of our own
Now you can't hear the wild birds cry
Nor see your star's bright trail
Nor touch the hand of your true love
Beneath the shadow's veil
One tear falls for you tonight
Shimmering oe'er the stone
That bears your name and marks the day
You left me here alone
Now you can't hear the wild birds cry
Nor see your star's bright trail
Nor touch the hand of your true love
Beneath the shadow's veil
One day I will meet you love
On that diamond strand
Made of stars that bade farewell
For those in that Bright Land
