I see your face in constellations Every night above my room Like the sky keeps painting pictures Of a love I couldn't keep Some people disappear completely Some become a memory But somehow you're still shining Far beyond me Pre-Chorus And though I can't touch the light I still look up every night Chorus You're a distant star So close inside my heart Yet so far away Beyond where my hands can reach And every time the darkness falls Your light still finds me through it all No matter where you are You'll always be my distant star Verse 2 The years keep moving quietly Carrying seasons past my door But some things never really leave No matter what they're called I still tell stories about you To nobody but myself Just to hear your name again One more time Pre-Chorus Some lights fade from view Yours still breaks through Chorus You're a distant star So close inside my heart Yet so far away Beyond where my hands can reach And every time the darkness falls Your light still finds me through it all No matter where you are You'll always be my distant star Post-Chorus Whoa-oh-oh, shining on Whoa-oh-oh, though you're gone Bridge Maybe love isn't measured by distance Maybe some hearts never drift apart Even when time stretches between them They still share the same sky Final Chorus You're a distant star A light I carry through the dark And though I cannot walk beside you You're still written in my heart Every wish I send tonight Still rises toward your light No matter where you are You'll always be my distant star Outro Still shining from afar My distant star
