When night unfolds its velvet sky, I search for you where stars drift by.
  A single light shines soft and bright, 
a golden glow in endless night.

It winks and hums a knowing tune,
 a lullaby beneath the moon.
  As if to say, “I’m always near,
  I never left, my love is here.”

So when I miss your voice, your face, 
I look above, I find my place.
  For in the stars, I see it true—
A light that shines because of you.
