A tiny speck in the deep dark mass
Thousands of miles between me and you
You, a burning ball of gas lighting up the sky
I am only a girl laying out on the grass
Watching above I made a wish to fly
Fly to see all the wonderful stars
To see how they shine and burn

I counted the stars as years passed
Now I'm here lying on the ground
My wrinkled hands clenching
As I stared out my window I asked
"When my heart stops let me go to space as a bright star"
drenching in sweat as I waited for the pain to leave
I closed my eyes before I let my last breath pass my lips

Now I burn bright above so many
I watch over my Jenny
My family burns bright with me
My happiness aplenty
