up above
Where stars are
Up above means in a higher position or in the sky, often with a sense of looking upward from where one stands.
It emphasizes vertical distance more than above alone: The stars up above twinkled through the clouds.
The phrase sometimes carries spiritual connotations, referring to heaven or the divine: Someone up above must be watching over us.
