Lyrics
When the stars no longer shine
When the sun falls from the sky
I will be forever yours
You will be forever mine
There’s a special star that shines
Every evening in your eyes
There’s a special star that shines
Each time I hear that lullaby
There’s a special star that shines
Every evening in your eyes
Yeah
Ooh
(Special star)
Special star
(Special star)
Oh, yeah
(Special star)
Ooh
(Special star)
Ooh
(Special star)
Ooh, yeah
(Special star)
(Special star)
(Ooh ah)
(Ooh ah)
(Ooh ah)
(Ooh ah)
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Yeah, oh
Ah
Ooh, yeah
Oh
(Special star, special)
(Special star)
(Special star, special)

Mango Groove is an 11-piece South African Afropop band whose music fuses pop and township music—especially marabi and kwela.
Since their foundation in 1984, the band has released six studio albums and numerous singles. Their most recent album, 2016’s Faces to the Sun, was more than four years in the making.
Mango Groove was formed in Johannesburg in 1984. Three of the four founding members—John Leyden, Andy Craggs, and Bertrand Mouton—were bandmates in a “white middle-class punk band” called Pett Frog, while they were students at the University of the Witwatersrand. In 1984 the three young men met kwela musician “Big Voice” Jack Lerole at the Gallo Records building in Johannesburg. In the late 1950s, Lerole had led a kwela band called Elias and His Zig-Zag Jive Flutes. John Leyden was enamoured with South African jazz of this era. Lerole’s reputation preceded him. He and the boys from Pett Frog rehearsed together, and a new band started to take shape. The band’s name was invented over dinner: a pun on the phrase “Man, go groove!”.
