The Stars

.

Lyrics and Music by Emily Potter

1st VERSE:

In the quiet of the world
I like to sit out in the sun
I like to see the green leaves dance
and watch the neighbors pass and smile.

I think of people at their jobs
or in their gardens, or in love
I think of people lost because
they can't find any calm.


1st CHORUS:

These are the moments I adore
to remember who you are
the reasons why I live.
And it makes me think it's time to shine
to stop growing up, and start growing far...
and look up at the stars.

2nd VERSE:

I think of Heaven all the time
I think of Time now and then.
I think of Then when I'm down,
and when I'm down I think of... Heaven.

And for the beggar I have a prayer
for the child I have two.
For the artist I have a coin,
but all my love I gave to you.

2nd CHORUS:

These are the moments I adore
to remember who you are,
the reasons why I live.
And it makes me think it's time to slow down,
to pull over, and get out of the car...

and then, cue the stars.

3rd VERSE:

In the quiet of the world
I watch the people in the sun
I see the people out to dance
I pass the neighbor's house and smile.

These are the moments I adore!
To remember who you are,
the reasons why I live.
And it makes me think it's time to fight fear.
The darkest places don't seem so dark...

when you're the star.


3rd CHORUS:

This is the life I adore!
To remember what life is for,
the reasons why I live!
And it makes me fall to my knees and cry
to kneel under your eyes isn't hard...

I see your stars.
