Corinne Bailey Rae on my mind

Corrine Bailey Rae has consumed my musical existence since the end of January. Upon hearing the first track released from “The Sea,” I was reminded why I connected with her the first time I heard her. I associate her with my dear friend Angela because I took her to the CBR for her birthday 3 years ago. So in honor of CBR and her recent release, I offer “Like A Star.”

Like A Star
Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Oh.. I do love you,

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you?
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

You've got this look I can't describe,
You make me feel like I'm alive,
When everything else is au fait,
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song,
Oh…
Your love,

Still, I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you?
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

I have come to understand,
The way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'cause we've been through that before,
From tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand,

I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you?
I wonder why it is,
I won’t let my guard down,
For anyone but you?
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands.
