L'étoile Lyrics in English Céline Dion

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'étoile by Céline Dion from French to English.
Verse 1
One evening on the side of the road
There was a star
I picked it up
It smiled at me in the palm of my hands
As if it were normal
I believe it was waiting for me
Chorus 1
I took it with me
I often hear its voice
As long as I can, I light you up
Open your eyes
There are so many things to do
Since everything is ephemeral
We can do better
Not the time to be silent
Life is free, it goes without saying
You should help yourself again
As long as we light up, we hope
Verse 2
The star has illuminated so well
The dark thoughts
That slowed me down
The star explained so well
That every minute is precious
No time for regrets
Chorus 2
And as long as it is there la la la
We will sing out loud
As long as I can, I light you up
Open your eyes
There are so many things to do
Since everything is ephemeral
We can do better
Not the time to be silent
Life is free, it goes without saying
You should help yourself again
As long as we light up, we hope
Bridge
If in turn I light you up
Open your eyes
Being your star, I know how to do it
We will create this light
It's contagious
As long as we light up, we hope
Chorus 3
As long as I can, I light you up
Open your eyes
There are so many things to do
Since everything is ephemeral
We can do better
Not the time to be silent
Life is free, it goes without saying
You should help yourself again
As long as we light up, we hope
