If I could reach up
And extend my arms
Stretch out my fingers
Squeeze my eyes shut and just touch
The very tip of a star
Stardust would sprinkle into my hair
Twinkling, like morning frost
I would float up
Weightless
A feather headed back to the wing of the bird who left it behind
I would soar above the world
Candy floss clouds caught in my shoelaces
The moon would look on
Watch me wrap myself in a midnight blanket
And gaze back down to earth from the heavens
If I could just touch that star
An entire world of magic would course through my fingertips
But it would be nothing
Nothing
Compared to how I feel when I'm with you

If I could reach up
And extend my arms
Stretch out my fingers
Squeeze my eyes shut and just touch
The very tip of a star
Stardust would sprinkle into my hair
Twinkling, like morning frost
I would float up
Weightless
A feather headed back to the wing of the bird who left it behind
I would soar above the world
Candy floss clouds caught in my shoelaces
The moon would look on
Watch me wrap myself in a midnight blanket
And gaze back down to earth from the heavens
If I could just touch that star
An entire world of magic would course through my fingertips
But it would be nothing
Nothing
Compared to how I feel when I'm with you
