Stars

Dan Fogelberg

Stood out in the rain

Let it soak me down

Before I called you...I called you.

Didn't see me there

Hidden by the rain

Beneath your window...But I saw you.



Putting on your face before the

Mirror on the wall

Dreaming that the looking glass

was me...

Catching your fondest gazes

Living through your fickle phases

I love you.



And it's getting easier each day

To weep about you

Harder every night to sleep without you

How many years must I be driven

By this dream

Of love with you?



Spend my dimes on phones

Trying just to talk but

You don't answer...you let it ring.



Spend my nights alone

Catching falling stars to

Give to you, love,

They're just for you.



For stars fall every time a

lover has to face the truth

And far too many stars have

fell on me.

And as they trail the skies

And burn their paths upon my eyes

I cry.
