Silver shadow

Glowing shadow

Shining brightly

For all to see

 

I remember gazing on this quiet night

The stars were bright as they could be

Wonderin' if things would ever go right

And if there was a spot up there for me

 

Then one star got brighter by the minute

Strange that it seemed to have my name written in it

I reached for the star and it kissed me with its light

It made me cast a shadow that was silver and bright

 

Silver shadow

A glowing shadow

Shining brightly

For all to see

 

I never had any real reason

To thank my lucky stars

But now I've got a pretty good reason

'Cause I know I'm gonna go far

 

I believe in magic, I really do

With all that's happened, it's got to be true

I cast a silver shadow from the kiss of the light

I knew that I was destined starting with tonight

 

Silver shadow (Yeah)

A glowing shadow (A glowin' shadow)

Shining brightly (Shinin' brightly)

For all to see (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

 

Silver shadow (Silver shadow)

My future's shadow (My future's shadow)

Trying to tell me (Tryin' to tell me)

Of the star I would be (Ooh)

 

Since I was chosen among the rest

I dedicate myself, I'm gonna be the very best

And my shadow forever silver will remain

And the world will always remember my name

 

Silver shadow

A glowing shadow

Shining brightly

For all to see (Can't believe I cast a silver shadow)

 

Silver shadow

My future's shadow

Trying to tell me

Of the star I would be

 

Hey yeah

You're my shadow love

Silver and bright, a sparkling thing

Look at my shadow glow

Think I'm gonna be a star, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Look at my shadow glow

Glowin' so brightly, this wonderous thing

Look at my shadow glow

Look at my silver shadow, shadow, shadow, shadow.
