why do i believe in fairy tale endings?
why do i believe in dreams that can't come true?
i think perhaps i wouldn't
if it hadn't been for you
i've bathed in your love for hours
watching night turn into day
but when the morning comes
your bag is packed...you go away
and i am left to ponder
what this is and what might be
while in the dimly lit silence
darkness descends on me
there is no slipper made of glass
no prince to rescue me
my only true companion
is the night surrounding me
"star light star bright
first star i see tonight
i wish i may i wish i might
have the wish i wish tonight"
