Shine Bright Tonight

another night I run to you only for a kiss and within a whisk, you're off into the land you want to be in I have come home to see you leave and then I'm left here daydreaming when you say you'll come back but you never do until my eyes have already turned blue until I can no longer want to think you'll be back in time for you to see the light on my face when you make me smile someone has been gone for quite a while and you tell me to wait and wait I do until I can no longer want to wait for you oh, if I could stay out I'd dream all day of things I want to do but work keeps me this way and you can dream all you want because I've given that to you but now I want my turn yet I'm still turning blue I keep hearing you say great things are coming now but all I see is my bank empty and me, working struggling to buy shoes when you shine with all your gold you buy for yourself as I resist from buying pants I might want but don't need you shine some more and I become lonely. Oh shine bright tonight, wherever you are I've begun to not care how you'll be a star because I need to let myself go too and all I see are diamonds shining bright on you. maybe if I could do what you do I'd shine like a star I'd shine just like you.
