One More Light Lyrics by Dan Bern

Divine and Conquer

2007

I met her on the station steps in a land far from my own
As if that meant anything
I bought us some coffee and we blew on our hands
As if that meant anything

She laughed when I mispronounced her name
As if that meant anything
One thing led to another thing, I led her to a place for drinking wine
As if that meant anything

And there's one more star in heaven tonight
One more candle burning bright
There'll be one more sunset by twilight
One more light

For me the country was a foreign one, the town was not her own
As if that meant anything
I made her say her name again, she laughed when I wrote it down
As if that meant anything

We spent the night together wrapped tight in each other's arms
As if that meant anything
Next morning I made breakfast and I bade her farewell
As if that meant anything

And there's one more star in heaven tonight
One more candle burning bright
There'll be one more sunset by twilight
One more light

I met her six weeks later in a town to the south
As if that meant anything
One glance at her face and I knew something was wrong
As if that meant anything

She said the night we spent was a night to remember in more ways than one
As if that meant anything
She said, "I receive a child from you in that curious, literal translation"
As if that meant anything

And there’s one more star
One more candle
There'll be one more sunset
One more light

She looked at me and asked me what I thought she ought to do
As if that meant anything
I told her that in five days, I'd be flying on a plane back home
As if that meant anything

I held her and I brushed away her tears
As if that meant anything
I kept telling myself, "Man, you've only met the girl twice"
As if that meant anything

And there's one more star in heaven tonight
One more candle burning bright
There'll be one more sunset by twilight
One more light
