Star Lyrics
Remember When We Met
We Acted Like Two Fools
We Were So Glad
So Glad To Have Found It
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
