The Stars
The stars are so luminous and numerous tonight
Stirring that sense of wonder deep in me
A sky of the velvet springhood lavishly with light
The stars, the eternal wells of mystery
I can see the ancient Greeks in total aw, like you and I
Trying to read it, the starry sky
The bear of Ursa major, and the hunter of Orion
and hydra the serpent and Leo the lion
The story has been told as long as humans have been watching the stars
The stars tell us stories, and tonight they speak of love
I see them shining bright in your blue eyes
And I've always felt our love descended from above
like rain it was falling from the starry skies
The old Greeks and the Egyptians saw the same as you and me
We see the image we want to see
The mighty horse of Pegasus is towering before us
The bull and the maid and the Virgo and Taurus
They all come out at night along with Jupiter and Venus and Mars
The bear of Ursa major, and the hunter of Orion
and Hydra the serpent and Leo the lion
The story has been told as long as humans have been watching the stars
The stars
Stirring that sense of wonder deep in me
A sky of the velvet springhood lavishly with light
The stars, the eternal wells of mystery
I can see the ancient Greeks in total aw, like you and I
Trying to read it, the starry sky
The bear of Ursa major, and the hunter of Orion
and hydra the serpent and Leo the lion
The story has been told as long as humans have been watching the stars
The stars tell us stories, and tonight they speak of love
I see them shining bright in your blue eyes
And I've always felt our love descended from above
like rain it was falling from the starry skies
The old Greeks and the Egyptians saw the same as you and me
We see the image we want to see
The mighty horse of Pegasus is towering before us
The bull and the maid and the Virgo and Taurus
They all come out at night along with Jupiter and Venus and Mars
The bear of Ursa major, and the hunter of Orion
and Hydra the serpent and Leo the lion
The story has been told as long as humans have been watching the stars
The stars
