Somewhere hidden on the farm Lived an old man and a ghost They sat there counting all the stars He found a new one brighter than the sun He gave a smile Before her eyes to hide the pain There's nothing left that he can do or say He holds her hand she lights their way Until the dark was over The days go fast the nights come in That little star is shining her light still She keeps on burning burning again It's too hot to stay there Rooms are empty like the heart You hear her voice calling you out She's built a stairway to the sky Stand by your wheelchair And start to climb And now you smile Before her eyes to hide the pain There's nothing left that you can do or say You hold her hand she lights their way Until the dark was over The days go fast the nights come in That little star is shining her light still She keeps on burning burning again It's too hot to stay here Rooms are empty like the heart You hear her voice calling you out Climb that stairway to the sky Through the storm, keep on climbing And now you smile Before her eyes to hide the pain There's nothing left that you can do or say She keeps on burning burning again It's too hot to stay here
