The Only Star For Me


Walking through this journey of life, 
When I face troubles and strife, 
When night's as dark as it can be, 
You are the only star for me;

No one to understand my tears, 
Or deliver me from my fears, 
When my heart weeps, "I feel lonely", 
You are the only star for me;

Moonless, the sky is without light, 
There's none to guide me in the night, 
When all around, darkness I see, 
You are the only star for me;

When I don't want to go ahead, 
Through life's dull paths, alone I tread, 
When I see you, I'm filled with glee, 
You are the only star for me.
