YOU WERE ALREADY A STAR

16.9.2001

 

 

Once I saw just like a dream,

Changing colours, mist and scream.

You made music, played up real

We all danced and smiled, you cloud feel.

 

You were the second for them all

But somehow number one to me

Their eyes followed his direction

How foolishly I wished you were there for me.

 

Because…

When I saw you in the light,

You were already a star.

A star out of reach for me,

Just star rovers would reach that far.

 

When I came closer, you gave me a smile,

You caught my eyes and lingered for a while.

And I finally saw you played twice,

Played your music and played with my eyes.

 

The mood in the air was so high

We all sang, moved side to side

And I was so close to you

But still still still still so far too.

 

Because…

When I saw you in the light,

You were already a star.

You were a star to me,

And since you’ll always ever shine.

 

Some more music, few more tones,

Happy moments had to go.

Thrown back to the silent world

Cos you were gone for good, oh no!

 

You fulfil one little picture in my head,

Stay with me! faulty fading memory.

And sometimes I ask myself why?

Why couldn’t we together be?

 

Why? Why?

Because…

When I saw you in the light,

You were already a star.

Stars normally shine out of reach

Just star rovers would ever reach that far.

 

I just knew…

When I saw you in the light,

You were already a star.

Though not extremely far away,

To gain your spark would have been rare.
