The curtain falls as night descends
The city lights where thinking bends
A ghostly glow upon the screen
A tired face a faded scene
The melody within my ears
Repeats the sighs of all these years
The shadows where we used to stand
Are broken glass within my hand
The wind comes tapping on the pane
A touch of cold a hint of rain
The words unsaid they twist and twine
I’m fighting for a breath that’s mine
The starlight falls in drops of gold
Like every promise that you told
No longer lost no more dismay
I’ll let the past just drift away
My heart is humming soft and free
A song that’s meant for only me
The future starts right here right now
I’ll make my choice I’ll take my vow
The corner shop the coffee’s sweet
I see your empty lonely seat
Your little habits I recall
But I don't need them now at all
For time has flown on silent wings
The growth that every teardrop brings
To learn to love the quiet space
And find the freedom in your trace
In the mirror someone new
A different soul is shining through
The distant roads they call my name
I’m stepping out to join the flame
I open wide my arms to fly
To embrace the light across the sky
The starlight falls in drops of gold
Like every promise that you told
No longer lost no more dismay
I’ll let the past just drift away
My heart is humming soft and free
A song that’s meant for only me
The future starts right here right now
I’ll make my choice I’ll take my vow
Though regret might leave a scar
And the "what-ifs"feel so far
Every breath is how I know
New stories wait for me to go
The starlight falls
I’m singing my own song
The future starts right here right now
I’ll make my choice I’ll take my vow
