🌙 Lyrics – “When Stars Forget to Shine”

I waited where the lilacs bloom,
Wrapped in the hush of twilight’s plume.
The garden held its breath with me
Still hoping you might be.

The world kept turning, deep and wide,
But I stood still with arms untied.
A waltz of dreams I couldn’t keep
I loved you in my sleep.

I wandered through the velvet dusk,
With shadows cloaked in lilac musk.
I called your name, the silence stayed
The stars began to fade.

Yet in the wind, I felt you near,
A memory the heart can hear.
No night is long enough to break
What even time can’t shake.

If stars forget to shine tonight,
And heaven hides its glow,
Then love will be our only light,
Wherever hearts may go.
Though time may drift our souls apart,
This truth will still shine through
When stars forget to shine, my love…
I’ll still remember you.

Let fate unravel thread by thread—
Let oceans rise and rivers shed
But what we are will never die,
We’re written in the sky.

I dress in dusk and wear the blue,
Each sigh still painted shades of you.
And though the night may stretch and bend,
It always finds your end.

I see your light in candle flame,
It flickers softly with your name.
The quiet knows what we once knew
That love can still come through.

If stars forget to shine tonight,
And morning never wakes,
I’ll find you in the hush of light
That only longing makes.
And even if the skies fall down,
And dreams don’t all come true
When stars forget to shine, my love…
I’ll still remember you.

You were the only star I needed.
And you… were my sky.
