You took a turn for the worse
when I caught up to you last night
There ain’t much left of the candle
flickering it’s saving light
And though improper thing we may do
not always just or always right
every once in a while
I see you smile like everything will be alright
You always wanted to be so bad
you always wanted to be
one of the stars in the evening sky
one of the doves flying free
Winter stole upon you in your twenty second year
fragile as a wedding smile you began to disappear
and as the worst of this comes on you
you know I’ll never leave your sight
as the night goes out of this room child
just pray and hold me tight
You always wanted to be so bad
you always wanted to be
one of the stars in the evening sky
one of the doves flying free
It’s time to close your eyes child
it’s time for you to sleep
there ain’t no more pain and no more tears
and this promise I will keep
And though improper things we may do
not always just or always right
in your heart an angel smiles
and guides you through the night
You always wanted to be so bad
you always wanted to be
one of the stars in the evening sky
one of the doves flying free
You are a star in the evening sky
You are a dove flying free
