Lyrics

I open up my eyes in the early morning light

And there you are beside me, still asleep from the night

I watch you as you breathe – Count my blessings quietly

Your expression so serene – It’s captivating me



And I thank the stars with all my heart that you are by my side

That you sacrificed and traveled far, so we wouldn’t be denied

I thank the stars with all my heart for the life you’ve given me

And it’s been like this right from the start like I knew that it would be



And so we fill the pages of our unfinished book

A story for the ages – The journey that we took

Mystified by fate that closed the distance to our heart

Miles that separate couldn’t keep us far apart



And I thank the stars with all my heart that you are by my side

That you sacrificed and traveled far, so we wouldn’t be denied

I thank the stars with all my heart for the life you’ve given me

And it’s been like this right from the start like I knew that it would be



All I ever dreamed of was to find someone like you

The things we had to do to make it all come true

And now we are as one, savoring the past

The riches we’ve amassed – But it’s all gone by too fast



You open up your eyes as I look upon your face

We’re lying side by side in this our perfect place

It’s just another morning in a fantasy revealed

Your smile so adoring, and it says our love is real



And I thank the stars with all my heart that you are by my side

That you sacrificed and traveled far, so we wouldn’t be denied

I thank the stars with all my heart for the life you’ve given me

And it’s been like this right from the start like I knew that it would be
