lyrics

I spent so many years stargazing
Staring into space and waiting
And I couldn't see the brightest light in the sky until I uncovered my eyes

A burned out star
Marooned in a desert land
Waves of sunshine slipped through open hands
Flickering in my bell jar you caught me in time
Held my darkness whilst you breathed back the sounds of life

YOU ARE MY STARLIGHT
YOU ARE MY GUIDE

In the beginning fate called us friends
But we plotted our own course now we're star-crossed lovers ‘til the end
After one thousand, eight hundred and forty nine days
This is our moment to play on our own stage

YOU ARE MY STARLIGHT
YOU ARE MY GUIDE

Burning so brightly for everyone else
You never fade or shine just for yourself
You don't just brighten up the sky
You illuminate the best in us and give life
In this grand scheme what are we?
Two tiny specks amongst endless galaxies
But we scatter our stardust, sowing the seeds
And our garden will grow infinitely

YOU ARE MY STARLIGHT
YOU ARE MY GUIDE

Two stars blazing together
Partners on this limitless journey
Even when one of us stumbles the other keeps our world turning
I sing, you paint; you draw whilst I write
Together we create our perfect life
Instead of watching, waiting and searching
We'll burn forever, together, amazing
Amazing

AND WE SING
