I can touch the stars,
And there's something in that light
Only if you see the view,
And I see it in your eyes.

I've sung love songs
Right before your face.
But I don't know: was I alone,
Or did you hear my fire blaze?

Be here to greet me,
So I won't be alone.
When you see me.
You and I can go.

Be here,
To see the heat in my eyes.
Sharing my life
Makes me feel alive.

I can answer
The sweetest dreams in you.
And if you need a dream,
I'll give you that, too.

Let me test my words
In the fire you see.
Only if you say it's true,
Will it come to life for me.

Be here to greet me,
So I won't be alone.
When you see me.
You and I can go.

Be here,
To see the heat in my eyes.
Sharing my life
Makes me feel alive.
