“If You’re a Star” is the second single off Amy Lee’s children album Dream Too Much. An animated video was released on 2 October 2016.
Lee said it’s the “lullaby original” that she and her husband Josh Hartzler made to their son Jack Lion, and they “sing that all the time.”
[Verse 1]
The stars are shining bright
And I wonder what they're seeing
Can they see me watching them?
Stars come out at night
I wonder if they're ever sleeping?
I wonder if they're dreaming?
[Chorus 1]
How do you sleep at night
If you can never turn off your light
How do you sleep at night if you're a star?
[Verse 2]
The Earth is beautiful at night
Fireflies are dancing
Listen to the crickets sing
Fireworks ignite
Exploding in a rainbow
Making all the trees glow
[Chorus 2]
How do you sleep at night
With all the magical things in sight
How do you sleep at night if you're a star?
[Interlude]
We need stars to show us the way home
And help us to see in the dark
If you're feeling lonely just look up high
They're with you wherever you are
[Verse 3]
It's time to say goodnight
But the stars are busy listening
Cause everybody's wishing
I wish I may, I wish I might
That the stars will know I'm grateful
They're so very faithful
[Chorus 3]
Thank you for all your light
And making the world so bright
How do you sleep at night if you're a star?
