stars fade
“stars faded but I lingered on there, still craving your kiss...”
Substance abuse affects more than the addict.
Those who 'enable' a user often get unnecessary criticism for perpetuating the problem.
Love is, after all, what keeps a person forgiving the one who hurts them, focusing on the happy mornings instead of the hellish nights, and hoping the apology roses don't wilt before the promises fade.
This song is for those who walk away with tears in their eyes.
And for Justin.
I really loved you, and I stayed as long as I could.
Stars shine brightly above you
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you
Little bird singing in the ponderosa tree
Keep dreaming of me
Stars faded but I lingered on there
Still craving your kiss
I longed to linger til dawn, dear
Forgive me for this
Don’t your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine
It’s hard to tell the night time from the day
You’re losing all your highs and lows
Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes away
Sweet dreams til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams leave your worries behind you
In your dreams whatever they be
Come down from your fences and open the gate
It may be raining but there’s a rainbow above you
Let somebody love you, let somebody love you
Show yourself some value
Before your bright star fades
