SOUTHERN STAR
Title song from the film "The Southern Star" (1969)
(Music: Georges Garvarentz / Lyrics: Don Black)


Matt Monro (Film Soundtrack) - 1969



The Southern Star shines night and day
So beautiful and bright it glows
Just like you, it takes my breath away
But I would rather hold you
The Southern Star could never smile like you
Or laugh and love or make me tremble like you do

For your eyes say things that no star could say
If there's a chance that you love me one day
Then I would close my eyes and I would try to wish
All other moments away
The Southern Star is for the world to own
But you, my love, were made to shine for me alone 

My Southern Star, that's what you are
Come bring that star to me
