The Difference Between You and a Shooting Star

Verse 1

Every time I see a shooting star,

I stop and make a wish.

I watch it burn across the dark,

A little light I can’t resist.

I close my eyes and hold my breath,

Hoping something good comes true.

But I don’t need to wish tonight,

Because I already have you.

Pre-Chorus

A shooting star can cross the sky,

Then disappear without a trace.

But you walked into my life,

And left forever in its place.

Chorus

That’s the difference between you and a shooting star,

One is a moment, you’re where my forever starts.

I wish upon the stars above,

But I don’t have to wish for love.

Every time I see a shooting star,

I make a wish come true…

But every time I see you,

My wish comes true.

Verse 2

A shooting star is beautiful,

But it only stays a while.

You don’t have to light the heavens,

You can brighten up my life with just a smile.

The stars may paint the midnight blue,

And make the whole world stop and stare.

But nothing in that endless sky

Could ever compare to you standing there.

Pre-Chorus

The stars can fall and fade away,

The night can swallow up their light.

But you are the one I want

Beside me every night.

Chorus

That’s the difference between you and a shooting star,

One is a moment, you’re where my forever starts.

I wish upon the stars above,

But I don’t have to wish for love.

Every time I see a shooting star,

I make a wish come true…

But every time I see you,

My wish comes true.

Bridge

So let the shooting stars keep falling,

Let the midnight sky shine bright.

I don’t need to chase a miracle,

I’ve already found mine.

If I had one wish left to make,

I know exactly what I’d do—

I’d close my eyes, hold you close,

And wish for another life with you.

Final Chorus

That’s the difference between you and a shooting star,

One lights up the sky, you light up my heart.

I used to wish on stars above,

Now I just look at the one I love.

Every time I see a shooting star,

I know what I’m gonna do…

I don’t have to make a wish anymore,

Because every time I see you,

My wish comes true.

Outro

Every shooting star will fade from view,

But I’ll keep wishing on you.

Not because I need a dream to come true…

But because I already found my dream in you.

My wish comes true…

Every time I see you.
