There’s a Brighter Star in Heaven Tonight

There’s a brighter star in Heaven tonight.

Our Baby has gone to sleep.

There’s a brighter star in Heaven tonight.

We Earth-bound mortals weep.

There’s a brighter star in Heaven tonight.

Our Baby has filled a space,

That’s been waiting for her since time began,

In that Promised Place.

There’s a brighter star in Heaven tonight,

As we bow our heads and cry

And say good bye to a sister,

Who has filled our hearts with pride.

There’s a brighter star in Heaven tonight.

Farewell, Dearheart, Dear Love.

Though our hearts remain on this mortal plane,

They are still with you, above.
