I reach for the stars When I reach for your love For so far above me you always will be Like a clown longs to be a king in a play I long for the things that are so far away I reach for the stars When I reach for your hand But stars tumble down From the clouds to the land When you come to my arms In that moment devine All the stars in the sky Are mine, all mine I reach for the stars When I reach for your hand But stars tumble down From the clouds to the land When you come to my arms In that moment devine All the stars in the sky Are mine, all mine
