I hear this song as about my wonderful son. As a baby, always smiling and still now, a young man always loving and giving and indeed shining. He is a star, not just to me but to many. He is a very beloved friend to more people than I can count---like the stars. He shines among them. I have often written songs about him, and all the things he does. And not surprisingly, he loves astronomy and loves watching the stars through his telescope. To me, they are all yellow. and they always shine for him.
