As a child I asked my mother   Is there a morning star?   I was answered by my mother   Yes there's a morning star      Just before the dawn she whispered   A light will appear above   And this light that greets the sunrise   This is the star of love      For this is the morning star   That shines above   Yes this is the morning star   This is the star of love      And then I asked my mother   Will I see the morning star?   I was answered by my mother   You will see the morning star      It gleams for just one moment   One moment in the skies   Then it shines for ever after   Deep in a mother's eyes      And that's when I learned how wise   All mothers are   For there in my mother's eyes   I saw the morning star      The love light in her eyes   Shining bright like a morning star
