Lyrics

The Last Star

Will you be my lady in love?
Will you hold me tight enough
To take me to the morning
And walk with me through another day?

Will you show me all the things
That being in love with someone brings?
And I will follow you my love
And give you all I’ve got to give

Chorus You will be the last star left to shine
When all the heavens fade away
And our dreams run out of time
You are the answer to a dream
You mirror what my heart has seen
In a far off, half forgotten summertime
The love I give to you is mine

I could show you all the ways
We could spend these summer days
Together making memories
Looking back from an Autumn evening

Counting out those fading lights
A waxing moon on a frosty night
And I will keep you warm my love
And we can wait for the snow together
