lyrics for
For The Stars (song)

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 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?
