Did you ever see a sunset stretch across the starry skies,
And wish those wondrous colors were reflected in my eyes?
Did you ever wonder about this, when the night came closing in,
If that same moon you were looking at, was shining on your friend?
 

Did you ever stop and think, no matter where you are,
I just might be gazing at that same self star?
Did you know that gentle breeze that cools your fevered brow,
Could be dancing in my hair, or touching me somehow?
 

And if I sent a kiss to you, carried on the wind,
It might reach you, take one too, and bring it back again,
And if you see a shooting star across the heavens glide,
My mouth might form an "Oh, how grand!" as if standing by your side.
 

So when you close your eyes tonight, and darkness does descend,
That same night wraps around me too, until I wake again.
That morning sunrise that you see, so glorious and pink
My eyes are looking at it too, it makes me think.
 

No matter what the distance, it matters not how far,
We can always find each other in the morning star.
My love for you is as close as the sky,
You are Never So Far, and always in my heart's eye.
