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.
Before the way it used to be
The stars would light the way for us to see
I’m a part of everything you do
And I am always watching over you
Holding you in my embrace
Everything is in its place
The way it always was
The way it used to be
And there will never come a day
Where I would ever let you slip away
As long as stars above us both still shine
I’m forever yours and you are mine
Holding you in my embrace
Everything is in its place
The way it always was
The way it used to be
