There's a song we both half remember but have mostly forgotten and we've tried searching for it.
All we remember is one tiny bit
' brighter than the brightest star...you are'
We think that's how it goes. It's not petula clark btw.
anyone????

I don't know how far back you're going but my first thought is 'Younger than Springtime' from South Pacific which includes this verse.....

Younger than springtime, are you
Softer than starlight, are you,
Warmer than winds of June,
Are the gentle lips you gave me.
Gayer than laughter, are you,
Sweeter than music, are you,
Angel and lover, heaven and earth,
Are you to me.

He doesn't think so. But thankyou for replying. We're both quite ancient...I'm in my early 70's and of course millions of songs have passed through; some of which hung themselves , or parts of themselves on the hooks of my memory. I'm currently playing through all my Spotify songs incase it's on there. I will keep looking.

We both feel that it was a gently sung song ..possibly by a female . He thinks it was a song from two decades onward and I felt it was earlier. So I'm not much help really. I don't suppose we'll ever find it. It's a lovely song too. I wondered if it was a folky song.

No sinbad. I checked but it wasn't it . Maybe one day I'll remember a bit more of it and get a Eureka moment.
Thanks for your input .

Brian Doerkson - You Shine ???

https://youtu.be/DEuuoqMsD9Y

Edit: Lyrics
Why should I fear man,
When You made the heavens?
Why should I be afraid,
When You put the stars in place?
Why should I lose heart,
When I know how great you are?
Why should I give up,
When Your plans are full of love?
In this world we will have trouble,
But You have overcome the world!
You Shine,
Brighter than the brightest star!
Your Love,
Purer than the purest heart!
You Shine,
Filling us with courage and strength
To follow You!
Why should I fear man,
When You made the heavens?
Why should I be afraid,
When You put the stars in place?
Why should I lose heart,
When I know how great You are?
Why should I give up,
When Your plans are full of love?
You Shine,
Brighter than the brightest star!
Your Love,
Purer than the purest heart!
You Shine,
Filling us with courage and strength
To follow You!
In this world we will have trouble,
But You have overcome the world!
You have overcome the world.!
You Shine,
Brighter than the brightest star!
Your Love,
Purer than the purest heart!
You Shine,
Filling us with courage and strength
To follow You!
You Shine,
Brighter than the brightest star!
Your Love,
Purer than the purest heart!
You Shine,
Filling us with courage and strength
To follow You!
You---- Shine----,(oh Lord! Oh Lord give us courage,
Give us courage and strength, to follow you!)
You---- Shine----! (to the ends of the earth! Oh Lord! Oh Lord!
We're gonna follow, we're gonna follow You!)

A bit sentimental for me, but had to look up.
