Softly into the night...

So softly into the night I go
like the light fades into darkness
Along with it I take my dreams
and any hopes of happiness

For I know I will never hear from you
never hear your voice again
It breaks my heart to think
that this is how it ends

I look up into a starless sky
a sky that we once shared
A time when I felt loved and wanted
when I thought that you cared

A time when all seemed bright and new
sweet moments that we shared
But they are gone and so are you
since you took your love away

So I look to the sky through misty eyes
wondering where you are
Maybe I can catch a glimpse
of one wishing star

I look at the moon shining bright
it seems so far away
I wonder if you have seen it too
as your night turns into day

Maybe we were watching
from our own parts of this sphere
And as I watched I thought of you
and wished that you were here

So when next you look upon the moon
when it lingers in your sky
When you look into the darkness
Can you sometimes think of me...
