That Love Is Like A Star, It’s Gone We Just See It Shining, It’s Traveled Very Far I’ll, Keep A Leftover Light, Burning, So You Can Keep Looking Up, Isn’t That Worth Holding On|
You Know I’d Always Been Alone, Till You Taught Me, To Live For Somebody|
That Love Is Like A Star, It’s Gone We Just See It Shining, ‘Cause It’s Traveled Very Far I’ll, Keep A Leftover Light, Burning, So You Can Keep Looking Up, I Am Yours No Matter|
That Love’s Gone, We Just See It Shining, We’ve Traveled Very Far I’ll, Keep A Leftover Light, Burning, So You Can Keep Looking Up, Isn’t That Worth Holding On|
