When I see you standing there
With those innocent green eyes
The way you always stand
When I make you cry
The way you always stand
When I breathe you out
The way you always stand
You’re never in doubt
You’re still glowing
Brighter every day
You’re still glowing
While I just fade away
I know you’re going
So all I came to say
Is I wish that I could shine
As bright as you
Now you sail away so fast
To light up someone else
And now I think the moment’s passed
I’m darker by myself
I know I always held you back
I hid from who you are
But everything was turning black
Except for your star
You’re still glowing
Brighter every day
You’re still glowing
While I just fade away
I know you’re going
So all I came to say
Is I wish that I could shine
As bright as you
Show them who you are
So when it gets too dark
There will still be time to find you
You’re still glowing
Brighter every day
You’re still glowing
I just fade away
I know you’re going
So all I came to say
Is I wish that I could shine
As bright as you
Cause there’s no-one here
who shines the way you do
