Lyrics

[Intro]

Starlight, star bright

Falling star that I'm seeing tonight

[Verse 1]

Time is rolling on and I, I'm the one who's wrong

I'm the one should be moving on, oh babe

A heart can only stand so much

It needs to touch someone, someone

So, it's up to you, do you love me too?

I get so confused

When you throw excuses my way, oh baby

I need your love to hang on

Please tell me that love ain't gone forever

[Chorus]

(There's a star for everyone who's lost)

Where is my rainbow? Where is my sunny day?

(There's a star for everyone who's lost)

Where is the fantasy? Who took the dream away?

(There's a star for everyone)

Where is my star? Who took the dream away?

[Verse 2]

Babe, every word you say always seems to shake

So, that I'll be making my way back to you

Please tell me this love for you is really shared by two

[Chorus]

(There's a star for everyone who's lost)

Where is my rainbow? Where is my sunny day?

(There's a star for everyone who's lost)

Where is the fantasy? Who took my dream away?

(There's a star for everyone)

Where is my star? Who took the dream, who took the dream away?

[Bridge]

Tried to find the reasons, patience wears thin

I tried to slow the seasons, but I know some day

I will win, I will win

[Chorus]

(There's a star for everyone who's lost)

There's a star for everyone

(There's a star for everyone who's lost)

There's a star for everyone

(There's a star for everyone who's lost)

There's a star for everyone who's lost

[Outro]

Where is my rainbow? Where is my sunny day?

Who took my star away? Who took the dream?

Where is my rainbow? Where is my sunny day?

Who took my star away? Who took the dream?

Where is my rainbow? Where is my sunny day?

Who took my star away? Who took the dream?

Where is my rainbow? Where is my sunny day?

Who took my star away? Who took the dream?
