Future, Present Past
By Edward Kenny
I WATCH YOU WHEN YOU’RE SLEEPING,
WHEN YOU’RE TOTALLY UNAWARE,
I CLOSE MY EYES AND SWALLOW,
AND I STIFLE A LITTLE TEAR.
I WATCH YOU FROM A DISTANCE,
WHEN YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW I’M THERE,
I KNOW WHAT I’VE BEEN GIVEN,
AND I WHISPER A SILENT PRAYER.
ONCE UPON A TIME A STAR WAS SHINING, (CHORUS)
IN THE DARKNESS OF THE SKY,
BUT BEFORE I CAME UPON IT SHINING,
LONG AGO IT HAD TO DIE.
AND IT MAKES ME THINK ABOUT FOREVER,
AND HOW LONG A LOVE CAN LAST,
BUT I WILL STILL LOVE YOU THAT MUCH LONGER,
IN THE FUTURE, PRESENT, PAST.
I HOLD YOU WHILE YOU’RE WEEPING,
SOMETIMES THE ONE WHO MADE YOU SAD,
I LISTEN TO YOU LAUGHING,
AND TELLING ME MY JOKES ARE BAD.
I BELIEVE I WILL LOVE YOU,
AND ALWAYS YOUR LOVE WILL RETURN,
A SHINING THING ENDURING,
WHEN THE STARS NO LONGER BURN.
ONCE UPON A TIME A STAR WAS SHINING, (CHORUS)
IN THE DARKNESS OF THE SKY,
BUT BEFORE I CAME UPON IT SHINING,
LONG AGO IT HAD TO DIE.
AND IT MAKES ME THINK ABOUT FOREVER,
AND HOW LONG A LOVE CAN LAST,
