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.
