I’d write it out as a song
But I tend to fail at chords and keys
I’d try it in a poem then
Nothing trite, like “birds and bees”
But then you’d probably never read it.

Goodnight Star
I’ll miss your light
I’m going away far
Into the last night
I’ll remember your name
When you’ve long lost mine
So, Goodnight Star
I’m going to die.

It’d be far too long
Not one would give that time to me
It’d be set down in pen
On a piece of paper that you’d never see
Cause I’d probably never let you read it.

Goodnight Star
I’ll miss your shine
I’m leaving for good
Not coming back this time
I’ll remember your face
With every tear I cry
So, Goodnight Star
I’m going to die.
