The Little Prince Song
(Music by Rachel Portman, Lyrics by Nicholas Wright; from the children's opera The Little Prince based on the book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)

PRINCE
Far away the sun is setting.
Shadows darken everywhere.
One by one the stars are building
Silver castles in the air.

Somewhere there's a tiny planet
Where a flower grows.
She is weak and she is helpless
She is just a rose.

If a flower is loved by someone
If that someone is a boy
When the stars come out at sunset
He will look and laugh with joy.

If that flower has been taken
Stars will flee the sky
Then he will see the darkness
And he'll cry.

ROSE
Your flower is waiting
And your home is near.
The stars that shine on you
Are shining here.

STARS
"We're shining!"
"We're shining!"

ROSE
They'll help you find
All that you left behind.
Their silver song
Is all you need to learn.
Trust your heart
And you will soon return.
Far though you roam
Starlight will guide you home.

PRINCE
Looking at the star at midnight
Searching every inch of air
I can't see my tiny planet
But I'm certain that it's there
If the stars would only take me
Up into the sky
My heart would guide me homewards
And I'd fly.

ROSE/STARS
Your flower is waiting
And your home is near.
The stars that shine on you
Are shining here.

PRINCE/STARS
"I'm trying! / I'm flying!"
"He's trying! / He's flying!"

ROSE/STARS
They'll help you find
All that you left behind.
Their silver song
Is all you need to learn.
Trust your heart
And you will soon return.
Far though you roam
Starlight will fly you home.

STARS
The prince is flying.
He's flying high.
The prince is flying...
