Lyrics

1. By the time you read this
There’ll be even less to say
Like the dreams that I once cherished
I’ll be far away
I haven’t got the strength to stay here
And love you from afar
Think of me when you see
A falling star

2. In your arms I found a solace
I had never known
After all the empty years
Married, but alone
I guess it’s better to fall from heaven
Than never reach that far
And your moonlit tears looked just like
Falling stars

Bridge 1
Anyone can gamble,
Anyone can lose
Still, I never laid on the table
All I’d chanced on you

3. You’ve returned to kids and husband
You’re really home once more
But I’ve been too far-afield
To walk back through that door
I hope they truly cherish
Everything you are
As for me, I’ll just be
A falling star

Bridge 2
I don’t want your reasons
You’ve done what you must
And I’ve learned that what lights up the heavens
Can fall next day to dust

4. So it will take some time
I will need some rest
Before our days can shine
In memory’s treasure chest
And if the wind should repeat my whispers
Anywhere you are
If you reach for me, you will see
The falling stars
Just the falling stars
Only falling stars
