Lyrics

"My Star"
© 2013 Capers Simmons (ASCAP)
VERSE I
See the crowd,
Hear them cry my name in cheers,
They are far too kind.
You're not there,
Though you cried my name in tears
When I left you far behind.

PRECHORUS I
"Make it big, call the shots,
Chase a dream, right or wrong;
Be a star," that's what they said.

CHORUS
But I should have made it bigger, made it big enough for two;
Chased a dream I could catch and share with you;
Called the shots, just to call your name.
I'll only be a star if my star will light your way.

VERSE II
Sing and dance,
Sell the hats and the shirts and the songs;
I am merchandise now.
Fill the seats,
Leave the empty space in my heart.
The only ticket has been sold out.

~ PRECHORUS ~ CHORUS ~

BRIDGE
"You'll see the world, you'll have it all,
You'll write your name upon the stars.
You'll be somebody." I believed that, so I chased the fame.
But I saw the world in your eyes
We had it all that night
Can I be somebody to you again?

~ PRECHORUS ~

CHORUS II
But I'm gonna make it bigger, make it big enough for two,
Chase a dream I can catch and share with you,
Call the shots, just to call your name.
I'll only be a star if my star will light your way.
