A star up in the night sky The kind of thing that takes your breath away With love beaming from 'em Her eyes sparkled like that diamond The kind of light that's never gonna fade It's gonna shine Shine, shine, shine November of '43 On a boat comin' 'cross

When you last left me my blood was in a jar And you kept it on your mantelpiece I couldn’t count on anyone to stand there behind me And keep the dogs from dragging me off with them While I slept you crept in and pulled the rug right out from under me

Can't you see Take my lips I want to lose them I'll never use them Your goodbye Left me with eyes that cry So why not, why not

When I'm looking up at you I'll colour me blue Only seeing myself Anything it takes to make you stay I know you're seeing black and white So I'll paint you a clear blue sky Without you I am colour-blind It's raining every time I open my eyes
