lyrics

You burn like a Star across the sky
Until the bitter ending
The quickest path is a straight line and for you there’s no pretending

stop me as I’m going, ask where the wind is blowing
My dear I don’t know
But for you I raise my cup
Cuz I know that you’ll end up
The star of your own show

You hold your heart like a mother of pearl so close and bright and shining
You make such a difference in the world
Your future is so blinding

ask me what the deal is
fake or is it real
My friends I don’t know
But for you I raise my cup
Cuz I know that you’ll end up
The star of your own show

You’ve got such a smile in your eyes
And you just as well deserve it
A bigger man could try you on for size
But I doubt that he could earn it

ask me as I’m drinking oh what could I be thinking
my lovelies I’d tell you if I know
But for you I raise my cup
Cuz I know that you’ll end up
The star of your own show
