Lyrics

I put my hopes on a falling star and wished upon the past
And all the nights that we embraced together
Midnight talks by the flaming hearth confessing all our fears
Or laughing till the fire went out

I put my hopes on the way I’d feel whenever you were near
Holding hands, we’d watch the world go on
Making love by candlelight, a moment to be ours
While raindrops glistened in the night

I’ve been holding on too long, just couldn’t let it go
Confusing the present with the past
The biggest part of me still wanted to go on
But in my heart I knew it would never last

Midnight star, like a sparkling wraith, relate your sweetest dreams
And tell the world of lovers you have harbored
Remembering the tears I cried the day she walked away
My shattered dreams, the fire’s gone out

I’ve been holding on too long, just couldn’t let it go
Confusing the present with the past
The biggest part of me still wanted to go on
But in my heart I knew it would never last

[Interlude]

I put my hopes on a falling star and wished upon the past
And all the nights that we embraced together
Midnight talks by the flaming hearth confessing all our fears
Or laughing till the fire went out
Oh, my shattered dreams, the fire’s gone out
Oh, my shattered dreams, the fire’s gone out
