It is kinda rough. I straight out messed up on some of the lyrics, but it was late, so don't judge. I guess I just want to know if anything sticks out, doesn't belong, any suggestions... etc. Let me know, Thanx!! (Someone told me the chorus sounds like something they couldn't put their finger on. I'd hate to unknowingly plagiarize someone else's song!)

Another great Charlie Katt song! This is a really upbeat, uplifting, singable song. The chorus is great - made me look forward to it coming around again each time (like a chorus should). I love the bridge - great space analogy. While this is a simple song of a guy singing about how much a girl means to him, the melody, groove, and use of language makes it special (in my opinion).

Great song.

My Shining Star

Written by Charlie Katt

© September 1, 2014 Charlie Katt • www.charliekatt.com

Verse 1
I wish you knew just what a jewel you are
(Did) I ever tell you you are my shining star?
You cut through the darkness
To me, you know, that's what you are

You know the things that people say of you
Their skies light up and it's because of you
I don’t need more reason
To snatch you up and marry you

Pre-Chorus
But from your point of view you haven't come that far
Well I got news for you, you’re way more than you think you are

Chorus
I don’t need to dream at night
I don’t need the gift of flight
(‘Cause) If I were to die tonight
There’d be singing in my heart
If I don’t amount to much
I’ll still battle for your love
(‘Cause) I can’t thank my God enough
For the woman that you are
My light, my love, my shining star

Verse 2
I wish you knew just what you do to me
You make this man want to live happily
Ever after
Come on runaway with me
w
Pre-Chorus
I’m so in love with you - your kisses set me free
And ‘cause you love me too I’ll have more live than I'll ever need

(Chorus)

Bridge
It’s your gravity that pulls me in
Like a planet orbiting within
Because we are bound together we’ll forever spin
Just like Earth’s endless path around the Sun
You're my star, my only one

(Chorus)
