you were always by my side
and when i woke up in the middle of the night
you were there
to hold me
so i wasnt afraid anymore
to protect me
id never had anything to fear
when you were around

now the bed holds one
the pillows damp
my eyes run dry
bloodshot and open
im looking to the sky
heavens where you are now
and i still have nothing to fear
because i know youll still be by my side
even if i cant see you
ill know youre there
watching me with your protective eyes
holding me with your spirit
i can feel you near me
youll always be my shining star
