Shine Like Stars

from Love Songs of Outlaws by John Allen James

/

lyrics

Go be alone on your own time
When you're here you belong with me
We'll take a load off of our minds
Let them be lost in peace

In the lull of the low tide
We'll walk the sand inside the sea
Before the coming of the landslide
Feel the kiss of the gentle breeze 

If they won't promise us tomorrow 
I will promise them a fight
If we turn to dust come sunrise
We'll shine like stars tonight 

Some days I wake so afraid
My whole world could blow apart
That all I made I'll leave laid to waste
Along a trail of broken hearts

Time moves on like a roadside
Speeding by at 90 miles 
Help me focus on the good times
In the blur of our busy lives

If they won't promise us tomorrow
May we promise them a fight
If we turn to dust come sunrise
We'll shine like stars tonight

I thought we'd have more time
We had so much more to do
I didn't notice days escaping 
Until they were too precious few

If they won't promise us tomorrow 
I will promise them a fight
If we turn to dust come sunrise
We'll shine like stars tonight 

If this was the last time 
It was such such a great life
If we turn to dust come sunrise
I'm so glad we have tonight 
We'll shine like stars tonight
