I gaze upon the stars and linger on old memories
Ones filled with talk and laughter from you and me
I plummet deeper and deeper in this far off land
And its just you and me walking hand in hand
I just knew nothing in this world could seperate us
Untill one day there came a faithful Marine Corps bus
I suffered the heartache and perils of bootcamp
Everytime you wrote I read with my eyes damp
Your words of love and encouragment kept me strong
With you I could never go wrong
I came home after graduation day
But for some reason I felt myself pull away
At the time I didn't know why or how
I look back with reasoning and I see now
The first time hurt so much to let you go
The second would have killed me I know
I look up at these Illustrios stars
and wonder whatever became of this love of ours
I sit alone and ponder in the dark
Will we be again or did I miss my mark
It was a mean trick I played on you
For my calls were distant and far to few
However it seems the jokes on me
All I have now is Stars and a Memory
