You're the one you're my shinin star
You're the one i've been waiting for
Let's fly away to some foreign country
Where nobody knows who we are
I wish i had a ship to sail the waters
I wish i had about a hundred dollars
But i'll just stand with this glass in my hand
Feeling like nothing even matters
Your words run thru me like the blood in my veins
I could swear i knew your love before i knew your name
Before i knew your name
Solo
Everyday i miss your smiling face
No one here can ever take your place
The sun can shine down over my town
But it never shines in my days
I told all the stars above
I'm gonna shower you with my love
I won't demand you i'll try to understand you
My love is free as a dove
Your words run thru me like the blood in my veins
I could swear i knew your love before i knew your name
Before i knew your name
You're the one you're my shinin star
You're the one i've been waiting for
Let's fly away to some foreign country
Where nobody knows who we are
