lyrics

Every Star in the Sky (E. Beaumont/B. Foldy/M. Koch/R. Umali)

When I was young she was my great one
She was pretty and witty and wise
One look in those eyes
and I knew she’d always be mine

We met at school, she was no fool
She was ready and steady
and she upset my world
Goodbye, rational reason and rule

Life was sublime
and every star in the sky would shine

One cloudy day she went away
but she wrote me and told me
everything I wanted her to
Every day a letter, sometimes two

She’d always be mine
That much I thought I knew

Your heart still beats after you break it
Love isn’t yours if you don’t take it
The world is yours
when you’re in love, out of your mind

Now I’m much older and I know better
than to tame her or claim her
She was never really that kind
I must have been out of my mind

She never knew it
but she was mine, mine, mine, all mine

We’ll never redo it like when
every star in the sky would shine
