Tin Star

Melanie

Transposer:

Intro: How old was I five or six or so The innocent years long ago My father on his chair reaching up so far Crowning the tree with that old tin star Chorus: And it shines so pretty like diamonds in the sun Nothing but good things will ever come Little girl don’t grow up stay as sweet as you are May you always find the wonder of that old tin star When I grew up found a place to live And I unpacked my things I found a gift And it felt like home though I’d traveled so far ’Cause there in my hands was that old tin star Chorus: And now it shines so pretty like diamonds in the sun Nothing but good things will ever come Little girl don’t grow up stay as sweet as you are May you always gaze in wonder at that old tin star (Chorus: Shines so pretty diamonds in the sun Nothing but good things will ever come) I have kids of my own and troubles I’ve had some I’ve cried some tears and I’ve had my fun Now I climb up that chair and I reach out so far And my child looks up at that old tin star Chorus: ’Cause it still shines so pretty like diamonds in the sun Nothing but good things will ever come Little girl don’t grow up stay as sweet as you are May you always gaze in wonder at that old tin star Little girl don’t grow up stay as sweet as you are May you always gaze in wonder at that old tin star

La chanson évoque des souvenirs d'enfance précieux, où l'image d'une étoile en métal, symbolisant l'innocence et l'émerveillement, brille de mille feux. Elle capture l'idée que les moments simples et les souvenirs d'amour familial peuvent apporter réconfort et chaleur, même des années plus tard. En grandissant, la narratrice souhaite que sa propre enfant reste toujours aussi douce et pleine d'émerveillement, tout comme elle l'était autrefois en admirant cette étoile. Dans un contexte de vie, la chanson parle de l'évolution des générations, des défis rencontrés en tant qu'adulte, tout en conservant un lien avec les souvenirs d'enfance qui perdurent. Ces réflexions sur la famille et la nostalgie montrent l'importance de chérir ces moments précieux.
