This song Beyond The Stars was salvaged, extracted, converted and remastered into digital audio from a very old cassette bought from a flea market in Singapore, also known as Sungei Road's flea market. "Sungei" is a Malay word for river. This is one of the eleven songs sang by Debbie Reynolds many years ago in the movie known as "The Singing Nun". The quality had deteriorated under the effect of rain and sun over time but the music is still beautifully audible. I watched this movie during my younger days and this song had embedded in my mind ever since. I vaguely remember this song was sung when she was alone sitting in front of a wooden cross hanging on the wall of her private room with a guitar in her hands. In the quiet she played and sang this song in perfect harmony with the surrounding. One can feel a sense of peacefulness as though you are immersed in the universe every time this song is played . yes, it is timeless and immortal! I can only make out the first few lines of the lyrics which are as follows: Far beyond the stars My soul is longing to go Where beyond the stars To a better place I know To the darkest night I can see the heavenly glow Far away, far away, beyond the stars Far away, far away, beyond the stars. I have searched various websites for the remaining lyrics to no avail. I think it has something to do with the purpose of our spiritual lives on earth and beyond the stars in the universe. Apparently this song was not as well known as Dominique which has a livelier tempo. Can someone help to complete the lyrics? LYRICS: Far beyond the stars, my soul is longing to go There beyond the sun, to a better place I know Through the darkest night, I can see the heavenly glow Far away, beyond the stars. Far away, beyond the stars Time measures the time, yet it’s my time so dear, The bells hasten to chime warning the hour is near The road leads far away and soon the day disappear And I sing, Hallelujah And to him, Hallelujah
