If you listen in silence
as each star dies*
you would sense at once
the message in my eyes
for our love is more steadfast-
were all the stars should starve to demise
a message would be written in the sky
' love is life's most glorious prize'
stars they have feelings too
in loneliness each does melt in cries
the years have wearied them
they have known a million sighs
walk with me tonight by the shore
lend me your heart and your eyes
each kiss we share is better than that before
it will stay in our lips up to sunrise.
