 Verse 2:

         If I could I'd catch a falling star
         To shine on you so I'd know where you are
         Color rainbows in your favorite shade
         To show I love you
         Thinking of you
         Write your name across the sky
         Anything you ask I'll try   'cause

 [repeat chorus to fade]
