As he look out the window
On that clear cold night
Looking up into the dark sky
He saw a bright shiny light
He started quietly chanting
Star, star, star so bright
I wish, I wish upon you
Make my wish come true tonight
The star fell from the sky
landing into his little hand
A tear ran down his creek
For now he does understand
He left that warm house
And out into the cold night
He went walking and looking
Using the star as his light
He came upon a match girl
Sitting under the corner light
He gave her the little star
To keep her warm that night
As he started walking home
From above it began to snow
But the wish that he made
Did it come true, nobody knows
Presents under the Christmas tree
The snow covering the ground
But someone will be missing today
The little boy wouldn't be around
The people started wondering why
Christmas spirit was his reason
Some of the people said that day
It was Love that was in season
Why did he help the match girl
For his life for her he gave
No one can explain to this day
The little star hanging above his grave
