Stars
Nelly Furtado · The Best of Nelly Furtado [2010]
There are so many stars in the sky tonight
Which one will I take in my hand?
There are so many ways I can live a life
Which one will I make part of my plan?
There are so many spirits in the air tonight
Trying to pull me away
You're a part of me
You're in every breath that I breathe
And every step forward that I take
And then I take a step backwards
And I can't see your face
You're a part of me
You're in every song that I sing
And every bird that sings to me
This is what I dream
To be real
This is my reality
There are so many songs on the people's faces
Everyone could be yours but they're not
And all is lost if I count the truth
To my own heart
You're a part of me
You're in every breath that I breathe
And every step forward that I take
And then I take a step backwards
And I can't see your face
You're a part of me
You're in every song that I sing
And every bird that sings to me
This is what I dream
To be real
This is my reality
Because my heart is a lonely hunter
Dying to strike out
Grabbed you into my world when you didn't even ask
But you always knew that you had a past
You're a part of me
You're in every breath that I breathe
And every step forward that I take
And then I take a step backwards
And I can't see your face
You're a part of me
You're in every song that I sing
And every word that speaks to me
This is what I believe
To be real
This is my reality
I live in this sea
Which one will I take in my hand?
There are so many ways I can live a life
Which one will I make part of my plan?
There are so many spirits in the air tonight
Trying to pull me away
You're a part of me
You're in every breath that I breathe
And every step forward that I take
And then I take a step backwards
And I can't see your face
You're a part of me
You're in every song that I sing
And every bird that sings to me
This is what I dream
To be real
This is my reality
There are so many songs on the people's faces
Everyone could be yours but they're not
And all is lost if I count the truth
To my own heart
You're a part of me
You're in every breath that I breathe
And every step forward that I take
And then I take a step backwards
And I can't see your face
You're a part of me
You're in every song that I sing
And every bird that sings to me
This is what I dream
To be real
This is my reality
Because my heart is a lonely hunter
Dying to strike out
Grabbed you into my world when you didn't even ask
But you always knew that you had a past
You're a part of me
You're in every breath that I breathe
And every step forward that I take
And then I take a step backwards
And I can't see your face
You're a part of me
You're in every song that I sing
And every word that speaks to me
This is what I believe
To be real
This is my reality
I live in this sea
