the years have gone by fast
oh, how we have grown
the times weren't always easy
but hearts and minds revive
now thoughts of You consume me
and i wanted You to know
You're the brightest shining star i've ever seen

oh, how blessed we are
to share in everything
life before was cold, cold and empty
every time i see Your face i'm reminded of
what it means to be alive

the miles will pull apart
and i will not lose sight
of the gift that i've been handed
been blessed so much- but why?
i feel so undeserving
but i wanted You to know
You're the brightest shining star i've ever seen

oh, how blessed we are
to share in everything
life before was cold, cold and empty
every time i see Your face, i'm reminded of
what it means to be alive

all for You, make me want to try
all for You, give my everything
all for You, make me want to try
all for You, i'll honor You forever

like the sun that never sets
the brightest shining star
You're the brightest shining star i've ever seen

oh, how blessed we are,
to share in everything
life before was cold, cold and empty
every time i see Your face, i'm reminded of
what it means to be alive
