Shining Like A Star

from Take It Higher by Jo Alexis

lyrics

You always had a girlfriend
I know you were taken
Lucky for me
she finally let you go

In a few years
You wrote me a letter
And thus began the time of my life, as you know

‘Cause you know that you are
Who you are and you are
You’re the one that I love
You’re the man that I love
And we’re taking this risk
It’s the ultimate trip
The ultimate trip of the heart
Of the heart
You have lit up my heart
Like a star
You’re shining like a stat
Because of who you are

I never knew I could love like this
I never knew I could love like this

I heard you left your boyfriend
Maybe it was my time
And such a catch
I could not let slip by

In a few years
I wrote you a letter
And thus I played the cards in my hand
My one chance

‘Cause you know that you are
Who you are and you are
You’re the guy(gal) that I love
You’re the guy that I love
And we’re taking this risk
It’s the ultimate trip
The ultimate trip of the heart
Of the heart
You have lit up my heart
Like a star
You’re shining like a stat
Because of who you are

I never knew I could love like this
I never knew I could love like this
Because you know that you are who you are and you are
