My Distant Star

As I sit here alone tonight, just looking up above
Out of all the pretty stars up there, it’s you I’m thinking of

I know your love is far away, but it feels so close to me
Like a beautiful star up there, you shine so bright for me

Then I’m reminded of the distance, between your love and I
I may never reach you, or should I even try

So like a fool I stand, with my arms reached to you
Like a fool in love, I don’t know what to do

So I’ll keep reaching, for my distant star,
With my arms stretched towards heaven, it don’t seem quite so far
