Minor stars, shine if he could try as hard
Fine with being by Twi, smilin, be in high-regards
Yet kid’s heckling his head, he can hide his heart
There’s a sky-wide kind of beauty when the light departs

Heart won in a raffle prize, her time is saddled so his luck can only half apply
Speaking half-replies, eager need to pass the time
Meager plea to ask her highness to a, to a dance tonight
She probably trained in ballroom, find his stance awry
Four left hooves he’s lost in bliss if Twilight wants to visit
Damn it, made a promise to himself back when he bought the ticket!
Honorary family-member squandering the grand adventure
Cautious need to stand attend he’s on his knees, the man offends her

[Bridge]
Praying for the trip of a lifetime
It could give him divine signs and then pitch him the right times
And still he could fly wide, he’s feeling her eyes, shy
Tries to think of something to say when they’re both alone

[Hook]
Minor stars, shine if he could try as hard
Fine with being by Twi, smilin, be in high-regards
Yet kid’s heckling his head, he can hide his heart
There’s a sky-wide kind of beauty when the light departs

Cabin-confined pep-talk, she hasn’t declined wedlock
After deny it if his hoof happens to find fetlock.
Rapid-maligned, now her eyes on everypony else
Bachelor, resigned, the glances of others his only help
Going well, maybe she’d talk nicely if he could only ask her
She just don’t see him as himself, he need a pony’s password
He’s growing rasher, long ago a liplocked lad should court her
Got so close, then she rebuffed him with a bad hoof forward
