STARS

each time i look at the stars
i realize just how small we are.

stars shine our way tonight.

each time i look at the stars
i feel you're there with me
up amongst the stars of our destiny.

the walk back home always touches different senses in varying ways.

tonight, the senses of smell and sight were raging.

the faint sting of chlorine interrupted the fresh, post-rain night air, while the constellations in the cloudless sky ignited reminiscence.

STARS kept ringing in my head and i simply had to sing it.

i was in secondary two the first time i heard that song...and it stuck, like it's not what i imagined did.

it was from a local musical called "big bang" - a story on Stephen Hawking.

musical theater numbers have a way of getting to me.

one other that comes to mind right now is someone like you from the broadway musical "jekyll and hyde".

but if someone like you
found someone like me
then suddenly nothing would ever be the same
my heart would take wing
and i'd feel so alive
if someone like you found me.

i remember wanting to sing this for the recital, but exchanged it for the slicker lady is a tramp.

i suppose i could do it better since i could relate to it more. =P

cynthia lee aka "ah girl" in the channel i sitcom sang too fancy.

and that was the only version i've heard.

debbie gibson's "think with your heart" album is totally defunked and off the shelves...and well, so is the song, unfortunately.

i like a man who can roll up his jeans
and wade in the water
and still have some dreams.

i like a man who can understand
simplicity.

uhhuh.

men who want to wine and dine me can.

but they need not apply for the position of "partner".

give me some courtside seats
i want my nose to bleed
he's just too fancy for me.
