Look upon the dark of night,
do you see a reflection of light?

Could it be the star that's so
bright, reminds you of a friend that
was there on those dark nights, who
gently dried your tears from sight?

 Or the friend, that was there to share a smile
or hug? Never asking, only giving that
special kind of love. A love only a true friend
knows, a love that sets your heart aglow.

I ask you now is this your friend you
hold so dear? A friend that has the
twinkle of a star? Yet is never one to
stray to far. A friend that's in
your heart, always near?

If this is so, when you look upon
the dark of night and see a
 twinkle of light, remember that true
friend, the star that shines so bright!
