Once Again

I was born under the moonlight and I died under the stars
You kissed me as I left you, so near yet so far
I stood beside you, as your tears washed my pain
Made me young, and so carefree, full of life, once again.

I held your hand when the days were so bleak
And I laid beside you when couldn’t sleep
I soothed your brow as your empty heart sighed
And I wiped your eyes, as your tears ran dry

And I always hear you when you whisper my name
And I’ll always listen, there’s no judgement or blame
Yes, I am the shadow that you never see
I am with you, my angel, for eternity

And I saw your heart lift on your wedding day
And I held your baby in my arms, as he lay
I’ve seen the seeds that I planted still grow
Become everything sweetheart that we planned, long ago

 And I always hear you when you whisper my name
And I’ll always listen, there’s no judgement or blame
Yes, I am the shadow that you never see
I am with you, my angel, for eternity

You’ll die under the moonlight, the stars will light your way
I’ll be there my darling, your soul will not stray
I’ll stand beside you, and my love will wash your pain
Make you young again, and so carefree, full of life, once again.
