Lisa Pertillar Brevard - Were I A Star Lyrics

Were I a star, I would point to you.

Were I a bird, I would sing to you.

Were I a diamond, I would shine for you.

Were I the sun, I would warm you.

Were I a butterfly, I would light upon you.

Were I a sapphire, I would blaze for you.

Were I the moon, I would face you.

Were I a mountain, I would stand you.

Were I a ruby, I would fire you.

Were I the sea, I would enfold you.

Were I the wind, I would kiss you.

Were I a pearl, I would adorn you.


But I am neither star

Nor bird

Nor diamond

Nor sun

Nor butterfly

Nor sapphire

Nor mountain

Nor ruby


I am not the sea or the wind or even a pearl.

I am woman

Of flesh and bone and blood

And you

Are the jewel in my heart.
