First Star

         words by Julie Knetsch & Bob MacKenzie
         music by Julie Knetsch & Wes Garland

Over the moon, on a sky of sea blue,
Lies a lone star on a canvas.
I have been told, as a child, by my mother,
from the first star you get one wish.

I was looking for you when I noticed the moon.
Where could you be at this hour?
You've never done this before -
why don't you come home?

Under the moon, like a first star, my heart
lies so alone dreaming your wish.
I'll light the night, till you come, my own first star.
One million years I'll shine for you.

I was looking for you when I noticed the moon.
Where could you be at this hour?
You've never done this before -
why don't you come home?

Dreaming a wish, in the glow of the moon,
I'll light the way home to my heart.
My wish for you, oh my love, is forever;
my vow to you is eternal.

I was looking for you when I noticed the moon.
Where could you be at this hour?
You've never done this before -
why don't you come home?

Looking for you, like a child in the blue,
I'm so alone without your love.
Where have you gone, far from me, in the darkness,
like a lone star on a canvas?

I was looking for you when I noticed the moon.
Where could you be at this hour?
You've never done this before -
why don't you come home?
