Tavares - Guiding Star Lyrics






I'll be your guiding star
My darling, cross my heart
I'll never leave you in the dark
Oh-oh, and I'll be your light
At the top of the stairs
(And when you lay me down to sleep)
I'll be the answer to your prayers

When your tomorrow seems uphill
When plans go wrong and leave you standing still
When you just cry and cry against your will
I'll sing a lullaby to make you smile
To brighten up your life

I'll be your guiding star
My darling, cross my heart
I'll never leave you in the dark
Oh-oh, and I'll be your light
At the top of the stairs
(And when you lay me down to sleep)
I'll be the answer to your prayers

I'll love you till the desert has no sand
Until the mighty sea covers all the land
Until my body turns to dust again
With every breath I take, step I make
I'll make sure you feel secure

I'll be your guiding star
My darling, cross my heart
I'll never leave you in the dark
Oh-oh, and I'll be your light
At the top of the stairs
(And when you lay me down to sleep)
I'll be the answer to your prayers

(I'll be your guiding star) Your guiding star
(My darling cross my heart) Cross my heart
(I'll never leave you in the dark) I'll never leave you, baby
(Oh-oh, and I'll be your light) I'll be your light
(At the top of the stairs)
(And when you lay me down to sleep)
I'll be the answer to your prayers

Yes, my darling, I'll be your shepherd
And you'll be my precious lamb
You can feel protected, I know you can
I love you so much
And baby, I'll keep you in my heart
Wherever I am, wherever I am

(I'll be your guiding star) Your guiding star
(My darling cross my heart) Cross my heart
(I'll never leave you in the dark) I'll never leave you, baby
(Oh-oh, and I'll be your light) I'll be your light
(At the top of the stairs)
(And when you lay me down to sleep)
I'll be the answer to your prayers

    This is my favorite track from this dynamite LP, which established these guys, rightfully so, as one of the top soul acts of the 70s, if not all time. They had a sound and energy that set them apart. The intensity of this performance is arresting. They may have gone away with disco, but their work is timeless. Forever young when I hear them. Many thanks for this great remastering and post. Best always. PM

    Good memories.....................

  45. E.... ....

    @bkwiley No radio-version; the sleeve says 6:34, the RECORD itself says 4:42!! In other words: there is NO longer version!!

  46. o.... ....

    Kind of reminiscent of "Love me for a reason" by Johnny Bristol

  47. E.... ....

    Chubby has a very sexy voice! He's the one talking on this song as well as on 'In the eyes of love'.

  48. G.... S....

    Absolutely smashing. Awesome ,this is true music..... the world would be a better place if we had more music like this these days

  49. E.... ....

    The album sleeve says 6.34. The record itself says 4.42!

  50. E.... ....

    There is no version of 6:34! That's a misprint! Look at the grooves in the record. It was never released as a single.

  51. B.... W....

    @TheMaschis I have not heard this song in decades, I did a cut/paste & got the info. All I know I have the album, but it's in storage along with all of my other albums. I just buy cd's replacing all those albums from the 70's. To me the song seems a little short, as you know back in the day we had 45's which was a short version of the original song on the album. Mostly I am in shock that this song finally made onto youtube, you truly have to be an Taveres Fan to know this song.

  52. T.... ....

    @bkwiley Thanks for the comment; it’s not known to me, that the song Guiding Star was published as extended version? I own CD’s as well Vinyl copies of this album (US & Europe and Japan versions) the track itself is only 4:42, even if some of the disc covers is mentioned 6:34?
    In case there is an extended version of this song available, please can you provide me further information on that?

  53. B.... W....

    Beautiful Ballad, the only complaint I have, this is the radio version-45 version, this song is 6 minutes and 34 seconds long. Anyway, nice that the song is on youtube. One of the truly underrated songs back in the day. Songs from the Sky High Album
    1. Mighty Power of Love - 3:58
    2. Ridin' High - 4:05
    3. To the Other Man - 4:34
    4. Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel - 6:32
    5. Bein' With You - 3:45
    6. Wonderful - 4:00
    7. Guiding Star - 6:34
    8. Don't Take Away the Music - 6:18

  54. C.... D....

    I love you till the desert has no sand, still remember those days

  55. c.... ....

    Does anyone know where can I find an MP3 download of this? This is one of my all-time favorites!! Took me forever to find it posted anywhere!

    c.... ....

    I only have in m4a format.

  56. G.... S....

    Hey Liz, Tavares performed in the Netherlands with my band on may 8Th this year. Check out the clips, search for Soulmen20. Enjoy!

  59. E.... ....

    @Soulkikker O dan verstond ik dat wel goed!

  60. S.... ....

    @Elisabeth1903
    0.5- 1.03: when your tomorrow seems uphill. When plans go wrong and leave you standing still

    and then: when you just cry and cry against your will. I'll sing a lullaby, to make you smile, to brighten up your life

  61. E.... ....

    @Soulkikker And 0.51 - 1.03? Thanks.

  62. S.... ....

    @Elisabeth1903
    Lyrics 1.45 till 157: I'll love you till the desert has no sand. Until the mighty sea covers all the land

    Well that's poetry for you right there sister

  63. E.... ....

    What's he singing 1.45 till 1.57? I can't hear it properly.

  64. E.... ....

    You just don't know how much this song means to me! I've got the feeling my gardian angel is singing this to me. Your task on earth is to sing this song, Chubby!

  65. E.... ....

    TheMaschis: You're GREAT!!! Thank you!! This is one of my favorite Tavares-songs!

  66. T.... ....

    One of the next "quality" songs will be from the album Loveline

  67. S.... G....
