Welcome to the North Star Motel
Copyright 1991 by Deb Carpenter
He told me he had something he’d like to share with me
He took me in the pasture beneath a cedar tree
He told me he couldn’t buy me a ring, but I had a diamond in the sky
And we shared our love as we watched the moon rise high
And he told me, “Welcome to the North Star Motel
“The stars are all in place and all is well
“As long as we can see that your diamond’s in the sky
“You’ll know my love for you will never die.”
He built me a cabin where we could watch the sun set
After seven years of loving me, he drew his final breath
He’d proved his love again and again, he’d proved he was a man of worth
And when I buried the love of my life, I faced his grave to the north
And I whispered, “Welcome to the North Star Motel
“The stars are all in place and all is well
“As long as we can see that my diamond’s in the sky
“I know your love for me will never die.”
Repeat
“I know your love for me will never die”
