Shooting Star Lyrics

Cover art for Shooting Star lyrics by Harry Chapin

It sounds like a wife whose genius husband is suffering from Dementia or Alzheimers. A brilliant man whose vision went beyond the conventional, while she kept him grounded in reality. He was the sun - shining bright, and she was the moon, reflecting his light back to earth.

Towards the end, his mind failed... but he always loved her as the one real thing in his life. And she watched him fade away, but she always saw the man she'd fallen in love with.
