you came into this world with time pressing on your neck
A child of dark shadows dancing near death
The doctors said you for sure would not stay
But even then, sickness couldnt extinguish your flame

They never saw the boy inside
you were lightning on the blue green sea tide
A misunderstood lullaby
but if you were ever searching for Love
I think you know
you found it
in me, your baby dove

Pain is the only true friend youve known
It got you bad, so now its something that doesn't even make you bleed
You are my beauty
and my beast

the sky turned blue green velvet
just like the way you had told me it would be so
i saw the shimmer of orion's belt, soft and slow
like you still here, but letting go

your eyes once held the ocean deep
now silence is the song you keep
you fade like daylight through the magic night mist
But I still feel you in all of this

the world forgets you, but I hold tight
to your ghost
dancing in the night
you
are
the
northern star

you are the light behind the stars
the whisper in the dark
the candlelight that somehow still remains
even now, just where you are
you are the light behind the stars
though your voice has gone away
your love will always stay

the world forgets you, but I hold tight
to your ghost
dancing in the night
you
are
the
northern star

the world forgets you,
but I know
you are the most
Beautiful
and they don't know
