Shooting Star

Shooting Star was the first single from Esmeralda Dimuzio's album, Imperfect Balance. It is similar in style to previous singles Fractured Galaxy and Unconditional, but more laid back, and drawing back to the Latin rhythms that made her famous in the first place.

The single charted at #3 in its first week, then climbed to #1 the week after. It is Esmeralda's third #1 single to date and her last platinum single until "Close My Eyes Forever" in November 2007.

Lyrics
In the sky at night Everywhere I look I can feel you out there Ringing off the hook On such a lonely night Waiting for you to call It makes me wonder I'm not alone after all

You're just a shooting star Shining so brightly in the sky The impression is so bright I see it when I close my eyes And when you're not around It makes me warm inside It's an eternal reminder That you'll always be by my side

Darkness surrounds me But I'm not depressed Look across the sky And it makes me feel blessed When I fall asleep And I'm lonely in our bed The visions of the stars Are in the dreams in my head

You're just a shooting star Shining so brightly in the sky The impression is so bright I see it when I close my eyes And when you're not around It makes me warm inside It's an eternal reminder That you'll always be by my side

If I were a princess Living in a beautiful palace It's all in a fantasy Hanging in imperfect balance The stars in the sky Will lead me to my prince If I fail at the first try Go back, wash, and rinse

In the sky at night Everywhere I look I can feel you out there Ringing off the hook On such a lonely night Waiting for you to call It makes me wonder I'm not alone after all

You're just a shooting star Shining so brightly in the sky The impression is so bright I see it when I close my eyes And when you're not around It makes me warm inside It's an eternal reminder That you'll always be by my side
