Song Lyrics

I couldn't see a thing tonight
Not one star
Not one star has shone for you
I couldn't see a thing tonight
Not one star
Not one star has shone for you

I couldn't see a thing tonight
Not one star
Not one star has shone for you
I couldn't see a thing tonight
Not one star
Not one star has shone for you
I add a little candlelight to get through

Oh, I couldn't see the moon tonight
Not one wave
Not one wave was out for you
No, I couldn't see the pale moonlight
Not one part
Not one wave was coming through
And I'm terrified to look outside
'Cause I need you

Starlight makes it all the same
No light and I feel the pain
Starlight makes it all a game with you, baby
Starlight and I feel the same
Missed flight on this airplane
I'd jump from a moving train
Just to keep you, would you do it for me?

Oh, I couldn't see the sky tonight
Not one star, not one star has shone for you
Yeah, I had a real hard time tonight
I still feel your breath
Oh my love I hold for you
And I think that I've been holding out
To hold onto
And I'm terrified to look outside
'Cause I need you

Something about you is like
Drinking a cold glass of water
Everyone needs a place to go to sometimes
Something about you is like
Going against Mother Nature
And I decide to face her every time

Starlight makes it all the same
No light and I feel the pain
Starlight makes it all a game with you, baby
Starlight and I feel the same
Missed flight on this airplane
I'd jump from a moving train
Just to keep you, would you do it for me?

As I watch you walk across the street
I keep wondering why I can't leave
All the heavens are against me and you
Do you even know a thing 'bout me?
Do you even think about my needs?
'Cause I need you

I couldn't see a thing tonight
Not one star, not one star was out for you
