Your laughter filled the silence
Like stars fill up the night
So I kissed you underneath a heaven
That looked and sounded so bright
When you looked at the stars
Did you know, could you tell
That the ending of our love
Would not go very well?
Did you know, could you tell?
Horoscopes each morning
Across the breakfast table
The best that we were able
You use the stars, my darling
Like philosophy or religion
You use them because you think
They give you better vision
When you looked at the stars
Did you know, could you guess
That the cadence of our love
Would sound like this at its best?
Did you know, could you guess, my love?
Now I turn my head to science
'Cause romance let me down
I like the safety of rules and regulations
Explanations to be found
Light travels fast
Light travels far
By the time it reaches us
There may not even be a star
Yes, I know, I know you love me
Well, at least you say you do
But love means something different
To me than it does to you
We don't see each other anymore
All I see is this
A kind of starsong, baby
Because we don't even exist
When you looked at the stars
Did you know, were you right?
Did you find what you were looking for?
Did they shed a little light?
Listen, baby, the stars
Are all silent tonight
Oh, the stars are all silent tonight
