You took a turn for the worse When I caught up to you last night There ain't much left of the candle Flickering it's saving light And though improper thing we may do Not always just or always right Every once in a while I see you smile like everything will be alright You always wanted to be so bad You always wanted to be One of the stars in the evening sky One of the doves flying free (2x) Winter stole upon you in your twenty second year Fragile as a wedding smile you began to disappear And as the worst of this comes on you You know I'll never leave your sight As the night goes out of this room child Just pray and hold me tight You always wanted to be so bad You always wanted to be One of the stars in the evening sky One of the doves flying free (2x) It's time to close your eyes child It's time for you to sleep There ain't no more pain and no more tears And this promise I will keep And though improper things we may do Not always just or always right In your heart an angel smiles And guides you through the night You always wanted to be so bad You always wanted to be One of the stars in the evening sky One of the doves flying free (2x) You are a star in the evening sky You are a dove flying free
