There’s a new star in the sky tonight.
I see it shining brightly above me,
And watching over my movements.
I’m sure it wasn’t there last night,
For surely I would have noticed it.
It seems to be brighter than most,
But that may only be my imagination.
Nevertheless, it is still quite obvious
That it is a beautiful star of blue,
Much like the blue of your eyes.
They say that when someone dies,
A new star appears in the heavens above.
I suppose that’s why I’m so sure that
There’s a new star in the sky tonight.
