STARLIGHT

From Valerie & Walter Crockett's Unbutton Your Heart on the Daring label.

Maybe that's all the happiness
That we're supposed to have
And maybe our glory days are far behind
And in our hour of darkness
There will be no helping hand
We'll have to take what shelter we can find

And maybe this road will lead us
To some godforsaken land
Wherever it seems our paths must break apart
But never will I forsake you
Not as long as I can stand
For your love is like the beating of my heart

CHORUS:
Starlight on this forgotten shore
Shine on, shine on
All night my faithful heart is yours
Shine on, shine on

Some recall their high school days
And some their first true love
And some remember childhood fields of home
And oftentimes you'll find them
Disappointed in their dreams
Paging through their memories all alone

But we have grown together
Though the years have come and gone
And still I yearn to see you everyday
It's like our love was written in some
Never ending song
That echoes when the memories fade away

REPEAT CHORUS

Maybe the world will never beat
A path unto our door
And maybe our days of laughter are behind
But in this time of trial
Still I love you ever more
And you hold all the hope I need to find

REPEAT CHORUS
