I tried to count the stars in the sky
But I couldn't count that high
I smiled then I remembered why
There's a place in Heaven waiting for me
There's a flame burning brightly
And there's a father who loves me

And what I want to say is on the tip of my tongue
You were my soldier when I was losing the fight
And though I know I'm bound to break I will be mended by you

I'm sure in a million ways
I have seen your beautiful face
It's simple, never complicates
Some people don't know how to hold you close
But I never want to let you go
You're my security and that I know

And what I want to say is on the tip of my tongue
You were my soldier when I was losing the fight
And though I know I'm bound to break I will be mended by you

I tried to count the stars in the sky
I smiled then I remembered why
