Star

Walk alone tonite
Lay on the grass
And watch the stars
Pick anyone you like
And pretend it's yours
You've got a star

Picture this moment
Keep it in your heart
You've got a star

Now you can leave
You've got a star
To guide you with its light
Oh, you make me dream

You'll be growin' old
Time will take its toll
With flaws and scars
And patiently reward
The good that's in your heart
You've got a star

Watching over you from dusk to dawn
Carressing your head the softest touch
Flaring in the sky at any laughter that you have
Do not fear the night, following the spark of light
'cause you've got a star
And even if on the way you get lost
Ever keep in mind you're not alone
May it give you solace and the strength you're longing for
Look up to the sky, don't you see a thousand stars
When the sun goes down?

Any single little bits and fragments you are made of
Have been forged long time ago out of the stars
And cast away to where you are
The magic and a bit of time composed
Their finest arrangement of atoms, that is you
So you were never very different from a star

Now you can leave, you are a star
Shining in our lives
You can leave, you are a star
Take me in your light
Oh you make me dream

(to my son Pietro)
