Story Behind The Song

Ferocious cancer took Mark's life at 43. Years and distance separated us and I was grieved that I didn't get to say goodbye. The lyrics came with ease, like holding hands , and saying farewell.

Song Description

The universe is huge, but one special person's life passed through it like a shooting star.This death left an imprint on an old friend who is shocked, saddened and baffled by the brevity of a beautiful life.

Lyrics

Thousand Stars

Music and lyrics by Jeff Barks and Joanie Logue

chorus
Thousand Stars swirling in the sky
A dome of light descends, I wonder why?
A shooting star never says good bye

verse
A butterfly lands just for a minute
Long enough to see the beauty that?s in its wings
Before it flutters away, before it flies away,
Like you flew away from me

Repeat chorus

Verse
Soft as a breeze, warm as the sun
You touched me like no one had ever done
Before you opened the door
And now I?m down on the floor
I?m down on my knees
I?m saying good bye baby, good bye
Bye Bye baby good bye
You never said good bye
I never said good bye
We never said good bye

Bridge
Round and round, I?m swirling round and round
I?m spinning round and round, round and round
I?m swirling round and round
Spinning round and round

Solo

Repeat chorus
And in the end, did you call my name?
You never said good bye
I never said good bye
We never said good bye
Shooting stars never say good bye

Repeat bridge
