So, I've been thinking about you
And all that we've been through together
Just look at where we are and where we started
Oh, how beautiful
Can't get away, you reel me in with every word you say
One glance and you can move me and undo me
Oh, how beautiful

You are my shining star
You are light behind my eyes
You are the dazzle in my diamond heart
And I think it's love

My dream come true
No doubt about it, I'm in love with you
I'm learning how to leave our past behind me
It's beautiful

You are my shining star
You are light behind my eyes
You are the dazzle in my diamond heart
And I think it's love

You are my shining star
You are light behind my eyes
You are the dazzle in my diamond heart
And I think it's love
