One More Light

Lyrics

I met her on the station steps in a land far from my own As if that meant anything I bought us some coffee and we blew on our hands As if that meant anything She laughed when I mispronounced her name As if that meant anything One thing led to another thing, I led her to a place for drinking wine As if that meant anything And there's one more star in heaven tonight One more candle burning bright There'll be one more sunset by twilight One more light For me the country was a foreign one, the town was not her own As if that meant anything I made her say her name again, she laughed when I wrote it down As if that meant anything We spent the night together wrapped tight in each other's arms As if that meant anything Next morning I made breakfast and I bade her farewell As if that meant anything And there's one more star in heaven tonight One more candle burning bright There'll be one more sunset by twilight One more light I met her six weeks later in a town to the south As if that meant anything One glance at her face and I knew something was wrong As if that meant anything She said the night we spent was a night to remember in more ways than one As if that meant anything She said, "I receive a child from you in that curious, literal translation" As if that meant anything And there's one more star One more candle There'll be one more sunset One more light She looked at me and asked me what I thought she ought to do As if that meant anything I told her that in five days, I'd be flying on a plane back home As if that meant anything I held her and I brushed away her tears As if that meant anything I kept telling myself, "Man, you've only met the girl twice" As if that meant anything And there's one more star in heaven tonight One more candle burning bright There'll be one more sunset by twilight One more light
