Walkin’ alone at night in the cold rain
Wond’rin if I will see you again
In some corner light
Runnin’ down the road in the warm sun
Dreaming that I am still the one
Resting by your side

You took the road to fortune and fame
Your name in lights
I want you to know I still feel the same
Star, I still love you
I still love you

Remembering when you played me that first song
The first show that you asked me along
Just to be around
Workin’ so hard till you got that first break
You said you could turn them around
Give them something new

You took the road to fortune and fame
Your name in lights
I want you to know I still feel the same
Star, I still love you
I still love you

Got that photograph of you and me
I hear your voice on the radio
Will I ever lay with you again

Nobody planned it we just seemed to drift now
I always seem to have to leave
Just as you come around
But someday soon girl I just got to see
I just gotta find out
If we still have time

Like many hit songs, the lyrics to Star have different meanings to different people.

Some folks are interested in word and phrase etymology. It is easy to understand the lyrics to Star by Nazareth if you think through it. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Star" means the words set to the music of Star, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Nazareth. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Star and the lyrics to Star are both one and the same thing.
