Goodnight Starlight Lyrics - Singles - Daryl Scairiot

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.(2x) 

The moon is sad and gray. 

I see you shining 

even though you are a million miles away. 

Goodnight starlight.(2x) 

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.(2x) 

The moon is sad and gray. 

I see you shining 

even though you are a million miles away. 

Goodbye starlight.(2x) 

Your starlight is so slow. 

I see you shining 

though you were gone a million years ago. 

Goodnight starlight.(2x) 

We've shown the best we could. 

The dawn is breaking soon 

and the aching of the day should do us good. 

Goodbye starlight.(2x) 

Your starlight stays so long. 

And I'm still wishing for the same bright star 

that I've been wishing on.
