Softly the morning light Softly the dew Softly my soul will bend As she comes in view At dawn she is delicate And burning by noon The end of the day will come soon And the stars in my lonely sky Are infinite bright And the stars know my soul will fly They're holding it tight There she is rising now My heart it might break The birds in her warmth will fly My soul it will ache And the world comes alive for her In awe at her gaze And suddenly the sky is ablaze And the stars in my lonely sky Are infinite bright And the stars know my soul will fly They're holding it tight Say not her name to me For I live in the shade Briefly I see her As she starts to fade In silence we pass Our path is well worn In silence I wait for the dawn And the stars in my lonely sky Are infinite bright And the stars know my soul will fly They're holding it tight Calmly I drift along Oh I will endure I only belong to her Of that I am sure Will I ever hold her I cannot presume For she's the sun I'm only the moon And the stars in my lonely sky Are infinite bright And the stars know my soul will fly They're holding it tight And the stars in my lonely sky Are infinite bright And the stars know my soul will fly They're holding it tight
