Bright Star

When I was just a boy, I looked up to the sky
and wondered about the stars- what they were and why
some are brightly shining and others barely glow
It seemed a great mystery that I would never know

Later on in life the answer came to me
The stars are ones who’ve gone, ones we cannot see
here on earth again so we must be content
to pray that they are safe, and know they were heaven sent

Seeing you on the stage, singing with that smile
That brings us so much joy, if only for awhile
A smile so amazing just like a brilliant star
You make us feel important no matter who we are

You are a very special soul, here for a brief time
Why you’re gone is a mystery, with no reason or rhyme
I wish I knew the answer but maybe this is why
You shone so brightly here, but even brighter in the sky
