You Are My Star
The The Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are my lucky star
I saw you from afar
Two lovely eyes at me they were gleaming
Beaming I was star struck
You're all my lucky charms I'm lucky in your arms
You've opened heaven's portal here on earth for this poor mortal
You are my lucky star
You are my lucky star
I saw you from afar
If Garbo is a glamorous creature
You're a four star feature
Though you are never seen
Up on a movie screen




You are my Shearer, Crawford, Hepburn, Harlow and my Garbo
You are my lucky star
