I Never Knew

I don't think of heaven
that's not where you are
So why, in the night sky
Do I see you as a star?

Have you returned to the
Dust from which you were made?
Or an echo of a memory
that one day has to fade?

I never knew I'd miss you
Quite as much as I do
And the last time that I kissed you

I don't think about hell
Maybe better if I did
Too many things I wasn't proud of
And so I kept them hid

I didn't want to disappoint you
Even though I knew you'd forgive
Your flame has been extinguished
With so much still to give

I never knew I'd miss you
Quite as much as I do
And the last time that I kissed you

I know this must be home
Even though it seems unreal
I wish that I'd done more
To show you how I feel.

You'd say don't be foolish
If you were sat here today
Go and live my own life
your star will light my way

I never knew I'd miss you
Quite as much as I do
And the last time that I kissed you

I never knew I'd miss you
Quite as much as I do
And the last time that I kissed you
When you said our love was true
