And do you think we lie awake
Beneath this same dark sky?
And do we lie beneath this moon
And under these same stars?

And will you reach out with your hands
And blot out those same lights?
Or will you try to close your eyes
To blot out the memories, too?

And do you see me when you sleep
And relive our favorite parts?
Or do you fight yourself to waking
To banish the day you left?

And do you look into the night
And trace my face in the dark?
Or do you try, with all your might,
To forget that familiar face?

And do we see the same sun rising
And lie awake in the gathering blue?
Or do you turn your face away
And try to sleep again?

And will you fall asleep with me?
And will I dream of you?

We'll fall asleep and dream together
Under these same stars.
I could trace your smile in the dark.
I often do.

Is there someone far away from you? Do you ever look up at night and wonder if they're standing beneath the same stars? Do you hope they think of you as often as you think of them?

I do.
