When Stars Fall Softly
When a star falls and there is no one to catch it,
When a tear rolls down a cheek and no caring hand to wipe it dry
When a heart leaps for joy
and no one there to see it fly
When a woman gives her heart
and no man there to receive it
When a man looks on the horizon
and no woman to meet him there
When a lover gets lost in the rain
and lightening is but liquid despair
When all the lonely moments end
and the joy of life has now began
The star fell softly into my hand
