Valerie June - Why the Bright Stars Glow Lyrics

When the race is run
And the gold is won
Look how far we've come
Dancing in the sun
It is then I know
I can't let you go
It is then I know
It's not suitable

To say I (say I), to say I (say I), to say I
To say I (say I), to say I (say I), to say I

'Cause what would we do
And where would we be
If it's not you
And if it's not you and me
(If it's not you)
You and me
And if it's not you
(If it's not you, if it's not you, if it's not you)

As the curtains close
On a sold out show
Look how far we've come
Dancing in the sun
It is then I know
Why the bright stars glow
It is then I know
It's impossible

To say I, to say I, to say I
To say I (say I), to say I (say I), to say I

You are my starlight ('cause darling you know)
Oh, how you shine bright (where I would be)
From day until night (how would we share)
Hey, A love that's so right (darling we see)
Where would we be (shine on)
If it's not you
And if it's not you and me (shine on)

If it's not you (shine on)
If it's not you (shine on)
If it's not you (shine on)
If it's not you (shine on)
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on (if it's not you)
Shine on (if it's not you)
Shine on (if it's not you)
