lyrics

What would you say if I said that I love you
the way that the moon and the stars are above you?
Would you believe me, would I have the right
to ask you if you’d be my darling tonight?

What if we met under different conditions?
If I passed you under the night, would I miss you?
Who would’ve known that the stars in their flight
would guide me to meet you, my ship in the night?

Some folks fear for what’s in store
or pray for time to stop.
But, darling, I’m not waiting for
the other shoe to drop.

And oh, my luck, my dear, what are the chances
that you would say yes when I ask you to dance?
The lines on my face and the way my voice cracks:
I didn’t know I would be loved for all that.

I’m gonna love you, as far as I know,
and wish you your good if you should ever go.
I’m gonna sing you the songs lovers sing.
I know what they mean now, I know what they mean.

Some folks fear for what’s in store
or pray for time to stop.
But, darling, I’m not waiting for
the other shoe to drop.
