Lyrics
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes
Don’t let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In daylight it dies
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes
Or keep your heart from me
For some day I’ll return
And you know you’re the only one I’ll ever love
Too many nights (too many nights)
Too many stars (too many stars)
Too many moons could change your mind
(Don’t let the moon change your mind)
If I’m gone too long don’t forget where you belong
When the stars come out remember you are mine
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes
Don’t let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In daylight it dies
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes
Or keep your heart from me
For some day I’ll return
And you know you’re the only one I’ll ever love
Too many miles (too many miles)
Too many days (too many days)
Too many nights too be alone
(Too many night all alone)
Oh, please keep your heart while we are apart
Dontcha linger in the moonlight when I’m gone
(While I’m gone)
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes
Don’t let the moon break your heart
(Don’t let the moon break your heart)
Love blooms at night
In daylight it dies
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes
Or keep your heart from me
For some day I’ll return
And you know your the only one I’ll ever love
(I’ll ever love)
I’ll ever love
You’re the only one (you’re the only one)
I’ll ever love
