A Fallen Star
Jimmy Newman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The brightest star I know I've ever seen
Then I found out that it was
Only you with all your charms
Who came into my life to fill a dream
A fallen star (a fallen star) that's what you are
The twinkle in your eye came from the sky
A fallen star that's what you are
A fallen star (a fallen star) that's what you are
The twinkle in your eye came from the sky
You must have been from the Milky Way
A fallen star that's what you are
Jimmy Newman's song "A Fallen Star" is a romantic ballad that speaks of a dream come true. The song starts with the lines "A star fell from heaven, right into my arms, The brightest star I know I've ever seen," which portrays a desire for someone who seems out of reach, almost like a distant star. However, the singer soon realizes that this fallen star was no celestial object, but a person who filled his life with love and joy. He describes this person as someone with "all your charms" and admits that they turned his dream into a reality.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "a fallen star" twice, suggesting that this person is special and unique. The reference to the Milky Way further emphasizes their otherworldly nature. The lyrics express gratitude for having found this special person and paint them as something out of this world.
The song carries a message of love and the belief in the power of dreams. It encourages listeners to hold onto their hopes and to remain optimistic about finding their own "fallen star."
