    A New Star in Heaven Tonight
    written as a tribute for Princess Diana
    by Chris DeBurgh

    Year Released: 1997 (only performed on television)

    Playing Time: ?

    Shadows darken and the day is done
    And I cannot believe that it's true and you are gone
    You were always here beside me
    You gave so much as the Queen of Hearts
    To those without love
    You were their voice when they could not speak
    A touch for the dying

    And as we say goodbye I can hardly see
    For the tears in my eyes
    You are shining like a million suns
    And there's a new star up in Heaven tonight

    I wonder if you ever knew
    How much you were loved
    And in the darkness of a lonely room
    Were you empty inside?
    As you fade away it's like a light
    Has gone from the world
    But I am sure that there is a place
    Where it will burn on forever

    And as we say goodbye I can hardly see
    For the tears in my eyes
    You are shining like a million suns
    And there's a new star up in Heaven tonight

    And there's a new star up in Heaven tonight

    This song was written as a tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales, and was only performed once on television. When this page was originally written no plans existed to release the song publically. However, in January 2000, a US greatest hits album was released which carries this song - see the discography page
