Lyrics
The Prettiest Star
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Cold fire, you've got everything but cold fire
You will be my rest and peace child
I moved up to take the place, near you
So tired, it's the sky that makes you feel tried
It's a trick to make you see wide
It can all but break your heart, in pieces
Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the past
How you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
The Prettiest Star
One day though it might as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The Prettiest Star
Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the past
How you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
Prettiest Star
One day though it might as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
