Starlight
Star bright
What are you?
What do you want from me tonight?

Are you here by choice?
Or are you there as I am here
When I go to sleep you are beaming through my window
When I wake are you still there or are you gone

Starlight
Star bright
Are you still there?
Are you trapped here like me?

Who are the others all around you?
Why do they all smile down on me at night?
Do they know who I am?
Or are they lost in the universe with the moon and me

Starlight
Star bright
Where do you go when the seasons change?
Can I come to when the night grows long?

When the clouds roll in across the night sky
When the curtain way up high comes down on the stage
Are the stars still smiling?
Will the moon be lonely too?

Starlight
Star bright
If I stand on a mountain and reach up tonight
Would you bend down with just one smile?

Would the clouds part for just one sliver of light
For one moment before night becomes day
And day disappears into night
A sliver of peace, hope or just a smile to remember until spring
