I saw you shining in the night time sky
You were a star just passing by
But you missed your mark and fell too soon
Now you're fading in the blue
Your glow was bright but didn't last
Like a comet burning fast
Ignored the warmth I tried to share
Now you're just a cold night air
Falling stars, you'll regret the night
Passed up love, couldn't see the light
Once so high, now you're lost in flight
Wishing for what you let slide by
Thought you'd stay forever bright
Lost your way into the night
Missed your chance to change your fate
Left to drift in endless space
Others see a shooting star
I see you for what you are
A dream of what could have been so true
But we'll never know
Because of you
Falling stars, you'll regret the night
Passed up love, couldn't see the light
Once so high, now you're lost in flight
Wishing for what you let slide by
