**AND THE STARS REFUSE TO SHINE** **Verse 1** I heard your footsteps in the rain, Then watched you disappear again. The streetlight trembled, pale and low, As if it knew you had to go. **Chorus** When the night comes calling And the stars refuse to shine, I can hear your voice Whispering that you were mine. Though the world keeps turning And the years may pass me by, I’ll be waiting in the shadows Where we said our last goodbye. **Verse 2** Your empty chair beside the fire Still guards the ghost of our desire. I close my eyes and hear you say, “Some hearts are meant to drift away.” **Chorus** When the night comes calling And the stars refuse to shine, I can hear your memory Whispering that you were mine. Though the world keeps turning And the years may pass me by, I’ll be waiting in the shadows Where we said our last goodbye. **Verse 3** Perhaps the dawn will set me free And leave no trace of you in me. But until morning finds my door, I’ll love you just a little more. **Final Chorus** When the night comes calling And the stars begin to shine, I will hold your memory Like your hand was holding mine. Though the world keeps turning And the years go passing by, Part of me will stay forever Where we said our last goodbye.
