[Verse 1]
I am hEbappy, I am Abthankful and I Ebam proud
Said with a Ebsmile for Abthe cameras at the Ebcountdown
But Fmif I'm Cmhonest, I am Abseconds from brEbeaking down
As you orCmbit, gAbravity throws me to the Ebground
[Chorus]
I'll be Abstarry eyed
I'll be Bbstarry eyed
I'll be sAbtarry Bbeyed for Ebyou
[Verse 2]
I brush the Ebdust off, gain Abcomposure for anothEber round
When did Ebmy life become a Abseries of cEbountdowns?
I cFmurse the Cmheavens for Abpulling you Ebaway from me
At the saCmme time I pAbray that you'll find evEberything you seek
[Chorus]
And I'll be Abstarry eyed
I'll be Bbstarry eyed
I'll be sAbtarry Bbeyed for Cmyou
I'll be sAbtarry Bbeyed for Ebyou
[Verse 3]
The whole woEbrld stares up iAbn wonder at the nigEbht sky
Oh what a Ebmarvel to see oAbur dreams so Ebrealized
But Fmall theCmse bright ligAbhts run togeEbther after a while
And our blaze of Cmglory turns oAbrdinary over nEbight
Our blaze of Cmglory turns Abordinary over Ebnight
[Chorus]
But I'll be Abstarry eyed
I'll be Bbstarry eyed
I'll be sAbtarry Bbeyed for Cmyou
I'll be sAbtarry Bbeyed for Ebyou
[Verse 4]
I am Ebhappy, I am thAbankful and I am proEbud
Said with a Ebsmile for the cAbameras at the countEbdown
But Fmall theCmse bright lights run Abtogether aftEber a while
And our blaze oCmf glory turns Abordinary ovEber night
