O passing time, take up this grief I hold
Wrap it in velvet, let the wings unfold
Soar to the heavens, climb the endless height
Until you reach the borders of the night
When you arrive, you’ll find a place to be
A tiny star for all the world to see
Whenever I look up, I’ll know it’s you
A twinkling spark within the velvet blue
Even the heavy clouds so dark and gray
Will be afraid and start to run away
The rain must end, the light is breaking through
So lift your head, the sky is waiting for you
Turn your sorrow to a star in the sky
Let the pain take flight and learn how to fly
As long as I remember, we are never apart
I can feel your pulse beating inside my heart
Lift your gaze, leave the shadows behind
You’re the brightest light that I’ll ever find
O drifted years, O memories so deep
Rise above the pain and the secrets we keep
Don’t let the sadness paint you in its gray
Keep every color from our brightest day
Just by remembering, just by calling your name
I can feel the warmth of our eternal flame
Whatever we shared is vivid and is true
Inside of me, I’m always meeting you
Even the tears that threaten to descend
Will dry away before the journey's end
The sun will shine, the path is coming into view
So lift your head, the world is waiting for you
Hold me close, stronger than anyone before
If you know the depth of love’s mysterious shore
Better than the clouds, better than the gloom
Is the azure sky where our spirits can bloom
Turn your sorrow to a star in the sky
Let the pain take flight and learn how to fly
As long as I remember, we are never apart
I can feel your pulse beating inside my heart
Lift your head
The sky is blue
I'm meeting you
Among the stars
Always
