My Distant Star By Richard Martin

            My Distant Star       by Richard Martin      G     200

 

          As I sit here alone tonight, just looking up above

          Out of all the pretty stars up there, it’s you I’m thinking of

 

          I know your love is far away, but it feels so close to me

          Like a beautiful star up there,  you shine so bright for me

 

          Then I’m reminded of the distance, between your love and I

          I may never reach you, or should I even try

 

         So like a fool, I stand, with my arms reached to you

         Like a fool in love, I don’t know what to do

         

          So I’ll keep reaching, for my distant star,

          With my arms stretched toward heaven, it don’t seem quite so far
