Don’t try to be anything else but what you are
Don’t try to do anything else but the things you do
‘Cause I had a dream about the seven stars
And the seven good things that you are
To me

The very reason I’m livin’ is just for lovin’ you
And the seasons are changin’ makin’ it all come true
‘Cause with the spring and the clearing skies
Love’s soft light will fill my eyes
For you

Who fills my head with these dreams
As I’m leaving my mind
Leaving my mind
Seven new stars are born, seven lie waiting to die
Seven new stars

The very reason I’m livin’ is just for lovin’ you
And the seasons are changin’ makin’ it all come true
‘Cause I had a dream about the seven stars
And the seven good things that you are
To me

Who fills my head with these dreams
As I’m leaving my mind
Leaving my mind
Seven new stars are born, seven lie waiting to die
Seven new stars

Who fills my head with these dreams
As I’m leaving my mind
Leaving my mind
Seven new stars are born, seven lie waiting to die
Seven new stars

Who fills my head with these dreams
As I’m leaving my mind
Leaving my mind
Seven new stars are born, seven lie waiting to die
Seven new stars
