A Handful Of Stars

Glenn Miller
I
recall the story That,
night of love and glory A
night that left my heart romantic scars We
stood so near to heaven That
I reached clear to heaven And
gathered you a handful of stars Sweet
remembered hour When
love began to flower With
moonlight through the trees like silver bars And
as the moon grew older I
reached across your shoulder And
gathered you a handful of stars I
placed my fingertips upon your lips And
stars fell in your eyes Moonglow
made a halo of your hair Suddenly
you looked at me and dreams began to rise Oh
what, things unspoken trembled in the air Our
hearts were madly beating And
then our lips were meeting And
Venus seemed to melt right into Mars Then
while we stood caressing Blue
heaven sent a blessing A
shower of a handful of stars
