The stars were so much brighter then They dim and die So why pretend The sky goes on forever? But if they fade as science teaches Poets lose the power of speech Waste paper, ink, and feather If I'd taken up the trumpet As I should have done Then I wouldn't be Always losing sleep While I'm trying to make this rhyme For the stars were so much They were so much brighter, then If I couldn't put a price on your head What's the use of me trying For the stars? The morning comes The days are just the time between Until the dusk When we can be together If I'd taken up the drums And I could play in time If I had the power Would I be wondering how I'm ever going to be write this down? For the stars were so much They were so much brighter then If I couldn't put a price on your head Then what's the use of me trying For the stars?
