You are my only shooting star The song of your name burns my heart You rule over my fantasies The heavens conspired for us to meet
I see you run silently your heavenly dance Your faraway light is my providence I should like to touch your hand But I won't tear you down My shooting star, keep flying on
Scorch the skies in your falling and burn away the tracks of time The stars have waited for this moment, fragment of the grand design You touch the faces of constellations while I am ever bound to earth No matter how far away I wait, no matter how long I have to pray Our desires will endure
You are my only shooting star, run your circuit across the night Your flame exhausted in an instant, forbiddingly fleeting, eternally bright You wouldn't have it any other way Your memory will never fade The chorus of a thousand stars will remember you by your light
