Andai langit bertabur bintang
Mungkin kaulah kejora
Seterang hatimu yang luar biasa

Mungkin sudah kesekian kalinya ku begini
Setiap kali kubuatmu terluka
Aku menangis
Maafkan aku

Seharusnya kau tinggalkanlah aku saja
Dan temukan sesuatu yang lebih baik dari ini
Namun tak kau lakukan itu
Di sini dan tetap di sini
Menjalani bersamaku

Andai langit bertabur bintang
Mungkin kaulah kejora
Seterang hatimu yang luar biasa
Andai cinta cuma sekali
Kudapatkan di dunia ini
Sampai mati takkan kulepaskan dirimu

Seharusnya kau tinggalkanlah aku saja
Dan temukan sesuatu yang lebih baik dari ini
Namun tak kau lakukan itu
Di sini dan tetap di sini
Menjalani bersamaku

Andai langit bertabur bintang
Mungkin kaulah kejora
Seterang hatimu yang luar biasa
Andai cinta cuma sekali kudapatkan di dunia ini
Sampai mati takkan kulepaskan dirimu

Seperti luar bisa hatimu
Bertahan untuk aku

Bertahan untuk aku

Andai langit bertabur bintang
Mungkin kaulah kejora
Seterang hatimu yang luar biasa

Andai langit bertabur bintang

Mungkin kaulah kejora
Seterang hatimu yang luar biasa
