At the moment they brought me the message
I was oceans and hours away
Wondering what I was doing
The moment that you slipped away
At the moment I'm looking out windows
At a night that hold only one star
In the morning it's gone but I know it's still
Shining afar
At the moment we raised up our voices
And a bit of our soul was set free
I'm still humbled and awed by the beauty
Of the small part of you that's in me
We laughed and we danced on the table
And confounded the silence with song
In the dark of this night still it echoes so brightly
And strong
I don't look for reward ever after
For I hold this life much too dear
From what I can tell both heaven and hell
We create in abundance right here
When the fire that burned is but ashes
And the stories have all been retold
The heat and the light will sustain us
Long after the hearth has grown cold
And grief has a place at the table
For it's part of what we are made of
And it'll stay long enough to remind us its mother
Is love
At the moment our lives become memory
And all of our dreaming is done
We shed what it is makes us different
And we don what it is makes us one
What is memory but time rendered timeless
Some small proof we each live anew
I refuse to surrender that small part of me
That is you
Some mark their days by the hours
Some mark their days by the signs
Me? I look to that star and where ever we are
We will shine
