ONE MORE STAR

i know you'd call me crazy sitting here with this gun
watching the horizon for the setting of the sun
i'm here because of you... it's killing me you're gone
but i know just what i've got to do as soon as nightfall comes

you see, years ago, out walking with my dad one moonless night
i looked up in amazement when i saw this falling light
and dad said "quick, make a wish...a shooting star will make it true"
so, now, i'm sitting on this hilltop..i'm gonna bring one down for you

i'll shoot at one more star
take aim and pull off one more round
do wishes go that far
or just fall back to the ground
now and then, one goes out, i swear
so, i keep loading up the chamber
and sending up this prayer
please come back
baby, wherever you are
then i close my eyes
and shot at one more star

my broken heart keeps begging me to somehow bring you back
it made me grab a box of shells and this rifle off the rack
it still believes everytime it hears somebody say
shoot for the highest star...you'll reach your dream one day

repeat chorus

please come back
baby, wherever you are
i close my eyes
and shot at one more star
