Just like a star across my sky Just like an angel off the page You have appeared to my life Feel like I'll never be the same Just like a song in my heart Just like oil on my hands Honor to love you Still wonder why it is I don't argue like this With anyone but you We do it all the time Blowing out my mind You've got this look I can't describe You make me feel I'm alive When everything else is au fait Without a doubt you're on my side Heaven has been away too long Can't find the words to write this song Oh, your love Still I wonder why it is I don't argue like this With anyone but you We do it all the time Blowing out my mind Yeah Now I have come to understand the way it is It's not a secret anymore 'Cause we've been through that before From tonight I know that you're the only one I've been confused and in the dark Now I understand, yeah, yeah I wonder why it is I don't argue like this With anyone but you I wonder why it is I won't let my guard down For anyone but you We do it all the time Blowing out my mind Just like a star across my sky Just like an angel off the page You have appeared to my life Feel like I'll never be the same Just like a song in my heart Just like oil on my hands
