Shining Star

[Verse 1]
The farm's been doing fine since the spring began
As good as any other year
Sales are going steady and we're working hard
But nothing's really changing here
I tend your garden every morning
Just the way you taught me long ago
The flowers still remind me of the song you used to sing
When we were out there working hours all alone

[Chorus]
What I wouldn't give to have you back for just a day
I miss the way you'd smile when I was scared
All I wanna say is that I hope one day to be
The shining star that you both were to me

[Verse 2]
Apple Bloom's a little bigger every day
Had no idea how quick she'd grow
Lately she's been learning who she wants to be
Could really use her mama, though
Mac sings with the choir every Sunday
First thing that he's done since you've been gone
Granny's slowin' down, but she's still every bit as strong
As the days when we'd throw horseshoes on the lawn

[Chorus]
What I wouldn't give to have you back for just a day
I miss the way you'd smile when I was scared
All I wanna say is that I hope one day to be
The shining star that you both were to me

[Bridge]
I wanna hear you tell me that you're proud of me
I wanna feel your warmth against my fur
I wanna be the grown-up that I know I'm meant to be
But it's hard to fill the hole where you two were

[Chorus]
What I wouldn't give to have you back for just a day
I miss the way you'd smile when I was scared
All I wanna say is that I hope one day to be
The shining star that you both were to me
