You gave me a star to restore my faith in love
And holding it close, I could once again believe
It guided a heart left too long in the dark
With a gentle light I never thought I'd see

You gave me a star to brighten my life
But somehow I stayed blind to your pain
You saw its glow reflected upon my face
And you knew it might take me away

You gave me a star to be my universe
Like you said I would always be for you
Your eyes never bluer, your gaze never truer
At last I saw my way home, and it was in you

You gave me a star and gave me the world
Like the promise of a palace in a grain of sand
But your greatest gift, you showed me that star
turned into your love when I held it in my hand
