Lost Under the Stars

[Verse 1]
We laid under stars, naming babies we'd never meet,
Dreaming of futures, where love ran like a creek.
Her laughter was a song, it played soft, it played true,
But I waited too long, and now I'm here without you.
[Chorus]
I didn’t propose in time, didn’t speak my heart.
Now I’m lost under the stars, torn apart.
She was my best friend, my north, my light,
And now I’m stumbling alone through this endless night.
[Verse 2]
Her dress in the moonlight, it shimmered, it swayed,
I still see her smile in the plans that we made.
I thought there’d be tomorrow, but tomorrow’s a thief,
It stole her away, left me drowning in grief.
[Prechorus]
If I could turn back, just one moment to say,
The words I left silent, the ones that slipped away.
[Chorus]
I didn’t propose in time, didn’t speak my heart.
Now I’m lost under the stars, torn apart.
She was my best friend, my north, my light,
And now I’m stumbling alone through this endless night.
[Bridge]
I see her in the morning dew, in the blue of the sky,
I hear her in the whispers of the wind passing by.
But the stars don’t answer, they’re silent and cold,
Just like the dreams I never got to hold.
