The Brightest Star In My Sky

from Sins of Commission 2 by Tom Smith

/

about

A commissioned love song. They're both Babylon 5 fans, and I tried to reflect that in both this song and the sequel, "My Son, My Moon".

lyrics

When I was young, I knew someday
I'd walk into the fire
I knew I'd see my destiny,
But I dreamed of my heart's desire.

I knew out there, there was magic,
If only I could see,
Who knew that so many years ago
It was right in front of me.

And I will walk beside you,
That's where I've sworn to be,
If you look for the brightest star in my sky,
It's right there next to me.

I'd known you without knowing
That our souls had met before,
We met, we kissed, we left, we missed
The chance for something more.

A shadow fell between our lives,
The darkness chilled my soul,
But now ends the night, I'm sleeping in light,
And now with you I'm whole.

And I will walk beside you,
That's where I need to be,
If you look for the brightest star in my sky,
It's right there next to me.

Life is too brief not to share it with you,
And too beautiful not to make ours.
With our belief we'll make legends come true,
And fight for our place in the stars.

Yours is the passion I touch in the night
And thank God that I answered its call,
Yours is the love that is burning so bright
That around us no shadows can fall.

When I was young, I knew someday
I'd face the fall of night.
Back then, who knew that I'd have you
To lift me towards the light.

And now we make our own magic,
Our dreams have all come true,
At last I see my destiny,
My heart's desire in you.

And I will walk beside you,
That's where I want to be,
If you look for the brightest star in my sky,
It's right there next to me.

And I will walk beside you,
That's where I'm supposed to be,
When I look for the brightest star in my sky,
You're right here next to me.
