The stars smiled upon us, as if they knew we’d soon join them They smiled as if they knew that soon we would dance with them That soon we would be with them My hand grips yours Your big strong hands That hands that had brought me back when all else failed The hands that had comforted me in the darkest nights Your loving hands You smile down on me A reassuring smile that could light up the night The smile that I fell for The smile that I love Your big, beautiful smile Your eyes shine brightly upon me Kind blue eyes Tired with age but bright The eyes that beckoned me in The eyes that I trust The eyes that shine like stars Your kind, old eyes You take me in your arms and whisper in my ear You whisper words of kindness Words of love If I could I would fall for you again When we first met you looked like a prince A fairytale prince Now age has wrinkled your skin Time has taken its toll but you smile the same You lost your locks Your soft brown locks But your eyes are the same Your face is laced with wrinkles and marks But you whisper the same You whisper the same tales and stories Stories of love and beasts Tales of princess and ogres You whisper stories in your pleasant voice A voice of angels A voice that transports me far away A deep calm voice A voice that I fell for In the nights of our youth in the exciting nights we’d go outside Under the moonlit skies and you would sing for me You would sing in your deep voice You would sing in your calm voice You would sing in a voice that animated the world Your lovely rich voice You would dance for me You would dance with me Fast dances, slow dances, lovely dances You would carry me in your big string arms and spin me around You would lift me off the ground and press your lips against mine Lips that produced the wildest tales Lips that sung the sweetest songs Lips that kissed me for years and years Your soft lips Now I lay still on my final bed You’re right beside me as you’ve always been Your hand holds mine firmly and tightly Your strong, loving hands Your eyes look upon me Your kind, bright eyes You smile down at me Your big, beautiful smile You whisper words of stories Your magnificent, wonderful stories Your voice floats down to me Your lovely, deep voice It is your voice that carries me off They are your eyes that see me last Your smile that smiles at me for the final time And your eyes the last thing I see I float off into the heavens all alone The stars greet me at the door And even though I’m without you Soon you’ll join me too
