So now someone is dying when you see a star fall It means that God in heaven for their soul has called And so from all their fear and suffering they are free The little matchgirl wondered could it be me When you see a star falling from the sky It means someone somewhere they have died And as the star does fall their soul does climb And all of their suffering is from a passed time So if you see a falling star her grandmother had said It means a person somewhere has gone to join the dead Their soul it goes to heaven in the sky Those they leave behind are left to cry But the Little Match girl know only one for her cared So now no more suffering she has to bear So the little match girl strikes a match a final time To see the one whom to her had been kind When you see a star falling from the sky It means someone somewhere they have died
