Bright Star Lyrics by A. J. Shively

Bright Star (Original Broadway Cast)

2016

[Billy Cane]
I’m ready for my life to begin
I’m ready for it all to start
My heart’s about to bust
Don’t lead the way I must
Follow my own bright star
Many a long cold night
I huddled down in the dark
I made a vow
If I ever made it out
I’d follow my own bright star
Bright star
Keep shining for me;
Shine on and see me through
Bright star
Keep shining for me
And one day I’ll shine for you
[Billy & Ensemble]
You never know what life will bring
Only what you bring to life
Hopes and dreams
And fine imaginings
They happen in their own good time
[Billy & Ensemble]
I’ve seen a weak man fight
I’ve seen a strong man cry
I have learned
The brightest day in turn
Into the darkest night
[Billy & Ensemble]
Bright star
Keep shining for me;
Shine on and see me through
Bright star
Keep shining for me
And one day I’ll shine for you
[Ensemble]
Ah a-a-ah, a-a-ah, a-a-ah
Ah a-a-ah, a-a-ah, a-a-ah
[Billy Cane]
There’s always a song to sing
A melody in the dark
Lifts my spirits
Every time I hear it
Comforts my aching heart
[Billy Cane] [Ensemble]
Keep shining for me! (Bright star, bright day)
And see me through! (Bright lights, bright way)
Keep shining for me, (Bright star, bright day)
I’m on my way! (Bright star, far away)
[Billy & Ensemble]
Bright star, (bright day)
Keep shining for me; (Bright lights, bright way)
Shine on (bright star) and see me through
Bright star, (bright day)
Keep shining for me, (shining far away)
And one day I’ll shine for you
[Billy & Ensemble]
Bright star
Keep shining for me;
Shine on and see me through
Bright star
Keep shining for me
And one day I’ll shine for you!
[Ensemble]
Ah a-a-ah, a-a-ah, a-a-ah
Ah a-a-ah, a-a-ah, a-a-ah
