What Did You See Inside the Stars Linda Eder

A window opened in the sky
The night that we first kissed
And though we slept beneath the stars
You were wide awake

I lay bewildered by your touch
Heard your almost sighs
Felt your tears fall on my skin
As if you'd break

You saw the end in our beginning
Strange the way it goes
Was your heart too shadowed by your scars?
You whispered, "This can never be"
As you looked into the sky
What did you see inside the stars?

And in the end, you couldn't bear
What you could not control
So with one unfinished prayer
I let you disappear

So many words you never said
So many songs that died
What pulled us from each other's arms was fear
