Daryl Scairiot - Goodnight Starlight

I see you shining like a child
Like a diamond in the sky
And they named you for the starlight
That boats are guided by
And I hope that you might be the one
To show me to true north
But a start that shines so bright
Will lead a sailor from his course

You shine for me, so constantly
Your fire fills my chest
You shine for me, all through the night
And I can find no rest

You shine for me, so childishly
Your shining hurts my heart
Your starlight burns the sky
But I must go and meet the dark

Goodnight starlight
Goodnight starlight
The moon is sad and gray
I see you shining
Even though you are a million miles away

Goodbye starlight
Goodbye starlight
Your starlight is so slow
I see you shining
Though you were gone a million years ago

They say the stars that meet ones eyes
Have crossed a million miles and years
And you always were so far away
Whenever you were near
Still I hope that you might be the one
The fates had given me to
But I was born beneath a star
Much nearer dear than you Still you shine for me so easily
I do not understand
How even now you shine
As though our night had never ended

You shine for me. You shine for me
But a man can't hold the sky
And I must fall and find the earth again
Goodbye starlight. Goodbye

Goodnight starlight
Goodnight starlight
The moon is sad and gray
I see you shining
Even though you are a million miles away

Goodbye starlight
Goodnight starlight
Your starlight is so slow
I see you shining
Though you were gone a million years ago

Goodnight starlight
Goodnight starlight
We've shown the best we could
The dawn is breaking soon
And the aching of the day should do us good

Goodbye starlight
Goodbye starlight
Your starlight stays so long
And I'm still wishing for the same bright star
That I've been wishing on
