Somebody told me you had to leave
And that you left when I was asleep
So many ways you could say goodbye
You never did but I'm sure you tried

Now I don't know where you're going
Tonight my toast is for you, hope you know it

Higher I think you are
Higher a shooting star
Rise over misery
Shine and be what you're meant to be

All the questions you can't escape
When happiness is running out of date
I guess my world was too small for you
I'm sad to say but I never knew.

You never were too sentimental
I hope someday you get what you sent for

Higher I think you are
Higher a shooting star
Rise over misery
Shine and be what you're meant to be

Shine, won't you shine?

Forever
Wherever you are
Whatever we lost
You're the shining star
