Stella

He was your love, he was your first true love

And you swore no one would ever assume his place

You were his love, you were his only love

Till he saw a welcoming smile on a fairer face

And so we have seen the way

Our heroes would err and stray

With music your joy and sorrow your soul

Back then, your heart almost broken, you still played on

I was your child, I was your only child

By nature if neither by birth nor blood

But you asked a lot, I disappointed you

Did wrong every time I attempted good

If I gave no joy to you

You gave me no reason to

Now I want a love and one who will call

And stoop, to scoop up the stars, to scoop up the stars when they fall.

If I gave no joy to you

You gave me no reason to

It's human to fail, human to fall

But Stella, you know there are stars

You know there are stars in us all
