A Little Heart Beneath the River of Stars

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I write my longing on the reverse side of night

Waiting a year for the wind to bring the time we agreed upon

A shining river stretches across before my eyes

Yet it cannot keep your face from drawing near

[Pre-Chorus]

The hour hand moves so lightly while we are together

Is still enough for us to claim a lifetime together

[Chorus]

The Milky Way cannot keep a heart apart

Even faraway places can feel close to home

If tender care lies hidden in every breath

Even the days apart hold echoes of reunion

The Milky Way cannot keep a heart apart

May you feel at peace in the world that is yours

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]

You speak of parting very, very slowly

I tuck my tears into your clothes

Not every love needs us side by side each day

Some patient waiting too can grow into a warm shore

[Pre-Chorus]

The hour hand moves so lightly while we are together

Is still enough for us to claim a lifetime together

[Chorus]

The Milky Way cannot keep a heart apart

Even faraway places can feel close to home

If tender care lies hidden in every breath

Even the days apart hold echoes of reunion

The Milky Way cannot keep a heart apart

May you feel at peace in the world that is yours

[Bridge]

Let this night become a light for the days ahead

Shining on us as we pass different mountains

When another new moon rises over the human world

I will know you too are looking this way

[Final Chorus]

The Milky Way cannot keep a heart apart

Even faraway places can feel close to home

If tender care lies hidden in every breath

Even the days apart hold echoes of reunion

The Milky Way cannot keep a heart apart

May you feel at peace in the world that is yours

[Outro]

Gently release our clasped hands before dawn

We save our next goodbye for the next time flowers bloom
