Analysis of I Always See My Star
My heart you took beneath the moon
as our lips first kissed,
Now if we are not together
your heart is sorely missed.
May I name a star for you
I'll look when I'm alone,
Only if you name one too
that you may call your own.
I must choose the brightest one
I'll know then you're with me,
If you choose the closest star
It means with me you'll be.
Even with so many stars
in the sky above,
When I see a star above
I know I'm with my love.
