You Are My Star

You are my star,

On a black cloudy night.

When I’m in the dark,

You are my light.

You are my air,

When I can’t breathe.

You are my answers,

To the questions I can’t perceive.

You are my hero,

When I need to be rescued.

When ever I’m sad,

You put me in a better mood.

You are my color,

When my world is grey.

When I am confused,

You are my help in every way.

You are my smile,

When I need it the most.

In my dreams you haunt me,

You are my ghost.

You are my rain,

When everything’s dry.

And when it’s not,

You are the sun in my sky.

You opened my heart,

You are my key.

When I need you, you’re there,

You are my one and only.
