shake down the stars

shake down the stars

pull down the clouds

turn off the moon

do it soon

i can't enjoy this night without you

shake down the stars

dry up the streams

stop all my dreams

cut off the breeze

do it please

i never thought i'd cry about you

shake down the stars

i gave you my arms

my lips

my heart

my love

my life

my all

but the best that i had to offer you

i found was all too small

crush every rose

hush every prayer

break every vow

do it now

i know i can't go on without you

shake down the stars

but the best that i had to offer you

i found was all too small

crush every rose

hush every prayer

break every vow

do it now

do it now

night time will soon appear

stars shine but you're not here

so please shake down the stars
