Shooting Stars
Shooting stars

Like shooting stars
Across the sky
We lit up the night
We lit up our lives
We met when
I was young
A teenage girl
With eyes for you
I entranced you
Sparked your desire
You coveted me
And all my fire
I gave in and
You gave me all
Our love took us high
To mountains tall
'Cos we lifted
Each other up
Up to the mountain top
But sadly when we stayed there
The air was too thin and clear
So long, my love of mine
I'll love you 'til the end of time
But our paths must now diverge
We have so many other
Adventures to learn from
Like shooting stars
Across the sky
We lit up the night
We lit up our lives
But we went our
Separate ways
Destiny's toll
Had to be paid
New loves for us
Different cities
We kept in touch
Our baby duties
Now here we are
Decades later
We've grown so much
Our lives are happy
'Cos we lifted
Each other up
Up to the mountain top
But we had to fly free
Set off to other worlds and people
So long, my love of mine
I'll love you 'til the end of time
Even though we stay in touch
We have so many other
Adventures to learn from
Lost love of mine
We're shooting stars
Lost love of mine
Shooting stars for all time
