Everything has a reason, everything has a start Anything that ever burned had a spark, oh Anything I ever wanted, anyone I ever needed Always seemed to leave me standing in the dark Suddenly, I'm caught in your light Open the door, you step inside And I'm watching the hours, looking for reasons Find that I'm missing every beat of your heart 'Til you're back in my arms I'll be waiting up counting the stars Oh, counting the stars, oh Nothing could ever touch us, nothing gonna shake my faith Nothing in this big bad world ever take you away Like a rolling hurricane, nothing's standing in our way Full of life, full of grace in a perfect place Suddenly, I'm caught in your light Open the door, you step inside And I'm watching the hours, looking for reasons Find that I'm missing every beat of your heart 'Til you're back in my arms I'll be waiting up counting the stars Oh, counting the stars, oh Like a rolling hurricane, nothing's standing in our way Full of life, full of grace in a perfect place Suddenly, I'm caught in your light Open the door and you step inside And I'm watching the hours, looking for reasons Find that I'm missing every beat of your heart 'Til you're back in my arms I'll be waiting up counting the stars Oh, counting the stars Oh, counting the stars Right here waiting 'til you're back in my arms And I'll be waiting, waiting, waiting Waiting, waiting, waiting up counting the stars Oh, oh, oh
