Shooting Stars
Baby you are a shooting star in my life
Guiding me and my thoughts straight home like a lighthouse beckons lost ships to shore
You spin round and round in the same old place
And it's comforting to know that no matter where I go
You'll be there waiting for me
But I don't want that
I want for you to be latched to my hip as we scale the globe
Stomping out footprints so deep in the sand that people can chart our course
I want to see the seven wonders of the world and paint over them with pictures of us
A global masterpeice that can be seen from space painted in sweet words and loving touches
I want to stand in Italy and Paris and China and Brazil
And learn how to translate the language to ours so that you can know in a hundred different ways how much I love you
Learn that my love for you spans across the globe
That it spans across history and evidence of it can be seen in the first fairy tale
We are that first once upon a time
But I am not just the princess
I am your partner, your companion, your friend
And you are not just the prince
You are my one, my only, my love
And I will life you on a glorious pedestal mounted with gold and silver and all the comics you can fathom
My only request is that I take you with me when I leave next time
i don't watn to go back to you waiting for me
I am not a ship lost at sea looking for the shoreline
So the next time I come home baby pack your things because I'll climb to the very top of that lighthouse
And I'll unscrew you out of your so I can take you with me
And when I set you in my ship you will shine so bright that we'll burn a track in this very Earth
Like a shooting star blazes across the sky
Everyone will know where we are going
