Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow
[Verse 2]
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called "Yellow"
[Verse 3]
So then I took my turn
Oh, what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow
[Chorus]
Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know, you know I love you so
You know I love you so
[Verse 4]
I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh, what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow
[Verse 5]
I drew a line, I drew a line for you
Oh, what a thing to do
And it was all yellow
[Chorus]
Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know, for you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry
[Bridge]
It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for
[Bridge]
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine
[Outro]
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do
