A New Star in Heaven Tonight

Chris De Burgh


Shadows darken and the day is done 
And I cannot believe that it's true and you are gone 
You were always here beside me 
You gave so much as the Queen of Hearts 
To those without love 
You were their voice when they could not speak 
A touch for the dying 

And as we say goodbye I can hardly see 
For the tears in my eyes 
You are shining like a million suns 
And there's a new star up in Heaven tonight 

I wonder if you ever knew 
How much you were loved 
And in the darkness of a lonely room 
Were you empty inside? 
As you fade away it's like a light 
Has gone from the world 
But I am sure that there is a place 
Where it will burn on forever 

And as we say goodbye I can hardly see 
For the tears in my eyes 
You are shining like a million suns 
And there's a new star up in Heaven tonight 

And there's a new star up in Heaven tonight
