′Cause you're a sky, ′cause you're a sky full of stars
I'm gonna give you my heart
′Cause you′re a sky, 'cause you′re a sky full of stars
'Cause you light up the path

I don′t care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do, ooh
′Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw you

'Cause you′re a sky, ′cause you're a sky full of stars
I wanna die in your arms
′Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark
I'm gonna give you my heart

I don′t care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do, ooh
′Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars
I think I see you
I think I see you

'Cause you′re a sky, you′re a sky full of stars

Such a heavenly view
You're such a heavenly view
