Lyrics

Look at the stars,

look how they shine for

you,

and ev ’ry thing you do.

Yeah, they were all yel low.

I came a long,

I wrote a song for

you

and all the things you do,

and it was called yel low.

I drew a line,

So then I took my

turn;

oh, what a thing to’ve done,

and it was all yel low.

Your skin,

oh yeah, your (G)skin and bones

turn in

to some thing (G)beau ti ful.

And you know,

you know I (G)love you so.

(F)dry.

You know I love you so.

(C5)dry.

I swam a cross,

I jumped a cross for

you;

oh, what a thing to do,

’cause you were all yel low.

I drew a line,

I drew a line for you;

oh, what a thing to do,

and it was all yel low.

Your skin,

oh yeah, your (G)skin and bones turn in

to some thing (G)beau ti ful.

And you know,

for you I’d (G)bleed my self (F)dry.

For you I’d bleed my self (C5)dry.

It’s (C)true,

look how the shine for (G)you.

Look how they shine for (F)you,

look how they shine.

Look how they shine for (G)you,

look how they shine for (F)you.

Look how they shine.

Look at the stars,

look how they shine for you

and all the things that you
