"Boats and Birds" by Gregory and the Hawk

Earlier today, a couple of my friends came over. We sat down in my living room and sang while I played my guitar. The piece that we were singing is called "Boats and Birds" by Gregory and the Hawk. It's absolutely ethereal. One of my friends thought the lyrics were a bit too cheesy. What do you think?

Here's the YouTube link:

"Boats and Birds" by Gregory and the Hawk
If you'll be my star, I'll be your sky.
You can hide underneath me and come out at night
When I turn jet black, and you show off your light.

I live to let you shine.
I live to let you shine.

You can sky rocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here, with more room to fly.
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by.

If you'll be my boat, I'll be your sea --
A depth of pure blue to probe curiosity.
Ebbing and flowing, and pushed by a breeze,

I live to make you free.
I live to make you free.

And you can set sail to the west if you want to --
Past the horizon 'til I can't even see you,
Far from here, where the beaches are wide.
Just leave me your wake to remember you by.

If you'll be my star, I'll be your sky.
You can hide underneath me and come out at night
When I turn jet black, and you show off your light.

I live to let you shine.
I live to let you shine.

You can sky rocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here, with more room to fly.
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by.

Stardust to remember you by...
