I've always prayed for a porch light To keep me from losing My way in the dark I finally found it in your eyes My northern star (My northern star) You in your white lace Me in my jet black Tin cans tied to the back of a Cadillac You're what I dreamed You're what I hoped for Down on my knees Ask the Good Lord for For I've always prayed for a porch light To keep me from losing My way in the dark I finally found it in your eyes Leading me home like a northern star It doesn't matter where I am You know my heart is where you are Burning like fire in the night sky My northern star My northern star Shine on Shine on I can't promise Roads won't wind us Clouds won't chase and Storms won't find us But I'll be your rock You be my compass We'll never stop Knowing where love is Is I've always prayed for a porch light To keep me from losing My way in the dark I finally found it in your eyes Leading me home like a northern star It doesn't matter where I am You know my heart is where you are (my heart is where you are) Burning like fire in the night sky My northern star My northern star Shine on (my northern star) (My northern star) Shine on (my northern star) (My northern star) It doesn't matter where I am (shine on) You know my heart is where you are (shine on) My northern star My northern star I've always prayed for a porch light To keep me from losing my way in the dark
