[Verse 1]
She carries the fire like it's always been hers to hold,
A lion-hearted woman made of warmth and ancient gold,
She thinks in tides and memories, her heart a poet's pen,
She loved so deep and true that love rewrote her from within,
Now the house is full of quiet and his chair sits cold and still,
And she tends the flame he left her with a steady, aching will

[PreChorus]
She feels more than she ever says out loud,
A summer sky that learned to hold the clouds

[Chorus]
Kathleen, the stars still know your name,
You are not lost, you are not the same,
The moon that rose when he was here still rises for you too,
Kathleen, the love you lived is proof of all you're worth

[Verse 2]
She gave the way the tide gives, not expecting it returned,
She noticed every small thing, every comfort that was earned,
She built a world for two with gentle hands and careful grace,
And every act of service was a love she could not erase,
The grief she carries quietly would break a lesser soul,
But she is forged from something deep that loss cannot make whole

[PreChorus]
The roots run further down than anyone can see,
She bends but she has never ceased to be

[Chorus]
Kathleen, the stars still know your name,
You are not lost, you are not the same,
The moon that rose when he was here still rises for you too,
Kathleen, the love you lived is proof of all you're worth

[Verse 3]
A new moon rises now above the place where she stands alone,
It asks her what she's ready to begin, and what to hold,
Her mind was built for questions and her soul was built for truth,
And something in her knows that she still has more left to do,
The cosmos didn't write her small or meant for just one chapter,
She is the whole unfolding story, morning after morning after

[PreChorus]
What she carried through the dark became her light,
The wound became the lantern in the night

[Chorus]
Kathleen, the stars still know your name,
You are not lost, you are not the same,
The moon that rose when he was here still rises for you too,
Kathleen, the love you lived is proof of all you're worth

[Bridge]
He was written in her bones and she was written in his sky,
That kind of love does not dissolve, it simply learns to fly,
She is held by what she cannot name but always seems to find,
A grace that walks beside her and a love that stayed behind

[Outro]
The new moon comes like breathing, like beginning once again,
Kathleen, you were never meant to carry this in vain,
The universe still needs you and it always will
