[INTRO] [Verse 1] The stars are near, so near they shine — [Delivery: spoken-sung, intimate] Don’t recite prayers, don’t write my name in lines. I’m here with you, I hear your dream in flight, I dream with you, we drift into the night. [Pre-Chorus] I’m close to you, I feel your longing flame, [Crescendo dynamic] Fragile desire — yet I breathe the same. [Chorus] Above our heads the stars look close, so close; They burn with a light that blinds our eyes, it glows. The stars are near, oh yes, they’re close to us — [Doubling vocals on 3rd line] So close, so near, their shine surrounding us. [Verse 2] Don’t build me palaces, don’t carve my name in stone, I only want to live with you, not rule alone. You are so fragile, your flame could fade away, But I choose life with you, I want to stay. [Bridge] I long for your love, I want to be your light, Your breath’s an ocean where I drown tonight. [Final Chorus] The stars are near — they touch us with their fire, They shine so bright, they echo our desire. The stars are close — oh yes, they’re close above, [Doubling vocals on 3rd line] So near, so bright, they'll crown our love. [Outro: fade out with long reverb, pads dissolving into silence] Hloth-vash ur Xigg’Thal, Ssa-nera thuun-darak, Khalen vorr’ash-h-h, [END]
