Her Eyes Were Like Fireflies
My thoughts grow dark this starless night
My spirit subdued in silence,
The one who used to lift my spirit
Is as distant as the charcoal sky
I drift in thought in a flight of gloom
And wings of sadness soon grow weary
She used to be my sun, my moon
And the twinkle in the stars
Weary wings glide into slumber
And soon I'm lost in dreams
into my dreams she then appears
The windows of her soul were like distant stars
Twinkling on and off,
Her eyes were like fireflies,
Lighting up my starless night
