Shining Star Lyrics
[Intro]
Oooooohh yeahhhh
[Chorus]
Honey you are my shining star
Don't you go away
Oh baby
Wanna be right here where you are
Until my dying day, yeah baby

So many have tried
Tried to find a love like yours and mine
Mmmmm hmmmmm mmmmmm
Girl don't you realize
How you hypnotize
Make me love you more each time, yeah baby
[Pre-Chorus]
Honey I'll never leave you lonely
Give my love to you only
To you only, to you only

Honey you are my shining star
Don't you go away
No baby
Wanna be right here where you are
Until my dying day, yeah baby

Feels so good when we're lying here
Next to each other lost in love, yeah baby
Baby when we touch, love you so much
You're all I've ever dreamed of, yeah baby

Honey I'll never leave you lonely
Give my love to you only
To you only, to you only
