Lyrics

Whenever I've lost someone close to me
Whatever the reason why
I'll gaze into the darkness
And the stars that fill the sky
I see those stars as dedication
To the wonder of their lives
To see them in the heavens
It really makes me feel alive

There's one for my brother
And more for my dad and mom
A testament to the lives they touched
That could never, ever be wrong
In my heart is an emptiness
Where once they used to be
But I believe their star in heaven
Is what allows them to be free

Some say all the stars will fall
I beg to differ with them all
I like to think God fills all that emptiness
That makes me feel so small
With a star for everyone I love
That’s why He won’t let the stars fall

As I visit with them through the night
Until the break of dawn
I sometimes wonder about the ones I've lost
And where they might be now
I like to think they're all just hanging out
Between Jupiter and Mars
Laughing as if tomorrow
May never come among the stars

Some say all the stars will fall
I beg to differ with them all
I like to think God fills all that emptiness
That makes me feel so small
With a star for everyone I love
That’s why He won’t let the stars fall

[Interlude]

I like to think God fills all that emptiness
That makes me feel so small
With a star for everyone I love
That's why He won't let the stars fall

A shining star for everyone I love
That's why He won’t let the stars fall
