Bright Stars (Walters/Goldberg)
I don't know why you won't hold these words a little closer to you
I could carry you on my back
I could help you to stay on track
The dustier days cloud our judgement and when we are alone
I think of us in flight
and learn to be alright
Don't take me away just yet
you know it's still ours
I see the bright stars
Don't make yourself upset
You know I love you
You know that it's true
And every day seems to rise above you
Remember when our innocent stains washed away so clean
We gathered together again
We didn't forget to mend
But now it seems we're different dreamers falling down the trail
And I can't even find your face
in my mind's most sacred place
Don't take me away just yet
you know it's still ours
I see the bright stars
Don't make yourself upset
You know I love you
You know that it's true
And every day seems to rise above you
Cascading down my face the final tears I know I'll shed
I'm ready to start again
And understand how trust depends
Not on our dreams or our fears or in our darkest hours
But how our whole brigade
Will right itself to face the day
Don't take me away just yet
you know it's still ours
I see the bright stars
Don't make yourself upset
You know I love you
You know that it's true
And every day seems to rise above you
