[Verse 1]
For a girl out on the beach
The sun seemed so out of reach
An oh-so-distant brilliant star
Through the years as that child grew
That's the way she thought of you
As one to worship from afar
But life's a rocket and here we are

[Chorus]
Standing on a star
And the view is astounding
Pounding of my heart
Is everything I've ever dreamed of
I know heaven isn't only for
The sweet life after death
When I look at you
Gotta catch my breath

[Verse 2]
For the girl that hoped she would
But was never sure she could
You know that love was worth the fight
And after such an uphill climb
What I'd give to turn off time
And live forever in your sight
But life's a rocket so for tonight
[Chorus]
I'm standing on a star
And the view is astounding
Right here where we are
Is everything I've ever dreamed of
I know heaven isn't only for
The sweet life after death
When I look at you
Gotta catch my breath

[Bridge]
Rock the night, burn it bright
Like a comet in the darkness
Don't you see?
Tonight belongs to you and me

[Chorus]
We're standing on a star
And the view is astounding
Right here where we are
Is everything I've ever dreamed of
I know heaven isn't only for
The sweet life after death
When I look at you
Gotta catch my breath
[Chorus 2]
Right here where we are
Is everything I've ever dreamed of
I know heaven isn't only for
The sweet life after death
When I look at you
Gotta catch my breath

[Outro]
When I look at you
I have to catch my breath
