"One Small Star" is on "The Emigrant and the Exile", Eric Bogle and John Munro.

When I need to feel you near me, I stand in this quiet place,
With the silver light of countless stars falling on my face.
Though they all shine so brightly, somehow it comforts me to know
That some who burn the brightest died an eternity ago.

CHORUS: But your light still shines.
It's one small star to guide me
And to help me hold back the dark.
Your light's still shining in my heart.

I'm learning how to live without you, though I never thought I could,
And even how to smile again, and I never thought I would,
And to cherish the heart's memories that can bring you back to life,
Though some caress me gently and some cut me like a knife.

Can your soul be out there somewhere beyond the infinity of time?
I guess you've found some answers. Now I'll have to wait for mine,
Till my light joins with yours someday.
