I Believe You Are a Star

I believe you are a star

'Cause you gleam above my head

And they say you travel far

That you go a long way back

That you're brighter than you are

That you've been about the best

That you're gonna linger on

That you're lonely on your own

But you're exactly like the rest

You're exactly like the rest

I believe you are a star

'Cause I heard it from a friend

That's the one who knows

The people in the know

That we raised upon your back

But we know who you are

You're an original, not that invaluable

Shining while the galaxy's black

You're an original, not that invaluable

Put your wits upon your path

I wanna know who you are

Would you really read it all?

You've got your eyes

Just like your cheeks are burning

You've got your eyes

No shade of night is enough to stop you burning

Oh, starry-eyed, I wanna know who you are

Starry-eyed, I wanna know what you are

Starry-eyed, I wanna know who you are

Starry-eyed, would you really read it all?

Starry-eyed, I wanna know what you are

You're an original, a beam of celestial

Shining from the roof of the shed

You're an original, but not that invaluable

Put your wits upon your path, let me know who you are

Let me know what you are

Would you really read it all?

I believe you are a star
