Bright Star

Silently coming
The dawn
Through your eyes

The snow slowly
Melting
Beyond in the sky

And as you rise up
With dreams
In your mind

The girl in the photograph
Jumps through your heart

Bright Star, light up
My life again

Bright Star, give me
Your love again

There’s cold in the air
But the sun’s
In her smile

You send her a thought
and then you start to float

And as you slowly
Begin
To descend

The girl in the photograph
Hides in your heart

Bright Star, light up
My life again

Bright Star, give me
Your love again

Softly the wind
Caresses
Your skin

Your hair freely
Floating
The clouds in your head

And as you slowly
Look into
Your mind

The girl in the photograph
Is born in your heart

Bright Star, light up
My life again

Bright Star, give me
Your love again.

—Jim Valero, November 22, 1982.
