My love, be brave
Fate was written in the stars
I could not save
Your sweet light from envious dark
Now Heaven is happy
But me I look for you, Wandering Star
Oh, my star
Out by the lake, in the most peaceful part of town
We took our date, Mississippi River, hallowed ground
Two fools in love, we turned up the radio
So much in front of us, we had no place to go
You went in swimming, the wave crashed, when I turned back
Heart sank in my chest, you were gone, never to come back
My love, be brave
Fate's been written in the stars
I could not save
Your sweet light from envious dark
Now Heaven is happy
But me I look for you, Wandering Star
Oh, my star
Broken and dazed, screamed your name into the sky
Maybe my love's just playing tricks on me tonight
Cracked a smile, I laughed and felt my soul lift
How could the angels take my most precious gift?
My head was spinnin', still you were gone, gone from my sight
I'll never forget the words you sang to me on our last night
My love, be brave
Fate was written in the stars
I could not save
Your sweet light from envious dark
Now Heaven is happy
But me I still look for you, Wandering Star
Oh, my star
Ooh, oh, oh
