This is a song by another one of my favorite writers, Barry Cullison. It's a true story about his parents. When his father went off to fight in World War II he and his wife agreed that at a certain time in the evening they would both look at a specific star and think of, and send prayers to, each other.
Harmonies by Barry's sister Melissa (One of my fave peeps in the Known Universe...).
OUR STAR
Verse #1:
Well She was young. She was in love. There was a war.
And she could not really tell you what this war was for.
But it was sure that this world was coming to an end.
The future of mankind might just depend up on them.
CHORUS:
Don’t be afraid. We have to be the brave.
Don’t lose your way. Our star will keep you safe.
Remember nights, the old plum tree,
The Milky Way, the promise made by me.
You and I will never say good-by.
Verse #2:
The home fires burned up everything that she believed.
She started thinking that this war was all for greed.
But it was sure that that rich man had his own scheme.
He came on so humble but proved to be worthless as kings.
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
With that magic star and ESP, she’d send her love across the sea.
He’d send it right back. Oh yes he knew that star.
He wished upon it before the war. Ohh before the war.
Remember nights, the old plum tree,
the Milky Way, the promise made by me.
You and I will never say… You and I will never say…
You and I… Will never say… …
