Silver shadow Glowing shadow Shining brightly For all to see I remember gazing on this quiet night The stars were bright as they could be Wonderin' if things would ever go right And if there was a spot up there for me Then one star got brighter by the minute Strange that it seemed to have my name written in it I reached for the star and it kissed me with its light It made me cast a shadow that was silver and bright Silver shadow A glowing shadow Shining brightly For all to see I never had any real reason To thank my lucky stars But now I've got a pretty good reason 'Cause I know I'm gonna go far I believe in magic, I really do With all that's happened, it's got to be true I cast a silver shadow from the kiss of the light I knew that I was destined starting with tonight Silver shadow (Yeah) A glowing shadow (A glowin' shadow) Shining brightly (Shinin' brightly) For all to see (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Silver shadow (Silver shadow) My future's shadow (My future's shadow) Trying to tell me (Tryin' to tell me) Of the star I would be (Ooh) Since I was chosen among the rest I dedicate myself, I'm gonna be the very best And my shadow forever silver will remain And the world will always remember my name Silver shadow A glowing shadow Shining brightly For all to see (Can't believe I cast a silver shadow) Silver shadow My future's shadow Trying to tell me Of the star I would be Hey yeah You're my shadow love Silver and bright, a sparkling thing Look at my shadow glow Think I'm gonna be a star, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Look at my shadow glow Glowin' so brightly, this wonderous thing Look at my shadow glow Look at my silver shadow, shadow, shadow, shadow
