Lyrics of Bright Star

We met each other many many years ago
My heart can still recall the feeling
That special day I knew right away
It was my heart that you were stealing

The times were different then
and they were a changing
And all of my priorities I knew
I should work on rearranging

Bright Star I can't wait until the morning
Bright Star when you will be lying next to me
Bright Star all the memories of the evening
Will fill your head with wonder
When you open up your eyes and see me Bright Star

So the first thing I did was ask you out,
I asked you right away
Because I wasn't going to let you slip through my fingers
I didn't want to see you slip away

I was so shy and nervous when I asked you
I never will forget it. No I won't.
And when you smiled at me and said yes
I've never had to regret it

Bright Star I can't wait until the morning
Bright Star when you will be lying next to me
Bright Star all the memories of the evening
Will fill your heart with love
When you open up your eyes and see me Bright Star

You are so easy to be with
You are all I dream of when I sleep
All the memories we have made together
Are the memories I will always keep

The times that you were feeling bad
And I was no help at all
I could feel your pain so intensely
It made me want to take the fall

Bright Star I can't wait until the morning
Bright Star when you will be lying next to me
Bright Star all the memories of the evening
Will fill your mind with magic
When you open up your eyes and see me Bright Star

I know my words sometimes sound like fantasies
And may seem slightly worn
I'm sure you must have heard it all before
In some other story, in some other form

I've been writing sweet love songs for you forever
I've been writing them for years
The words that come straight from my heart
Are more honest than my tears

Bright Star I can't wait until the morning
Bright Star when you will be lying next to me
Bright Star all the memories of the evening
Will be all that you can think of
When you open up your eyes and see me Bright Star
When you open up your eyes....and see me
