i've been down, i've been beat
i've been so tired that i could not speak
i've been so lost that i could not see
i wanted things that outta reach
then i found you and you helped me through
and you showed me what to do
and that's why i'm coming back to you

like a star that guides a ship across the ocean
that's how your love can take me home and back to you
and if i wish upon that star, someday i'll be where you are
and i know that day is coming soon, yeah i'm coming back to you

you've been alone but you did not show it
you've been in pain but i did not know it
you let me do what i needed to
you were there when i needed you
mighta let you down, mighta messed you around
but you never changed your point of view
and that's why i'm coming back to you...

like a star that guides a ship across the ocean
that's how your love can take me home and back to you
and if i wish upon that star, someday i'll be where you are
and i know that day is coming soon, yeah, i'm coming back to you

mighta let you down, mighta messed you around
but you never changed your point of view
and that's why i'm coming back to you... yeah

like a star that guides a ship across the ocean
that's how your love can take me home and back to you
and if i wish upon that star, someday i'll be where you are
and i know that day is coming soon, oh, i'm coming back to you

i'm coming back to you
i'm coming back to you
i'm coming back to you
that day is coming soon
i'm coming back to you
