PRETTY BLUE

The stars look much bluer tonight
(It’s a) pretty blue but looking much colder
Even though we dance in the light
I know you’re looking over your shoulder
Can something be so far away
And still look so bright and so near
In a starlit romance
We were taking the chance
(That the) sky isn’t always this clear

CHORUS
Look up at the stars
Try to count them
Are you certain that they’re all still there?
Is it possible one might have fallen
When you didn’t notice or care
Look straight in my eyes
Try to read them
To see if you see what I see
Reflecting the colour of your eyes
They look pretty blue to me

Holding you up to the light
Trying to see a way through
But just like the stars out tonight
I know you’re starting to feel pretty blue
Were you always so far out of reach
Waiting to slip from my hands
Let’s finish this dance
And our starlit romance
It was over before it began

CHORUS

With so many new constellations
No one will notice the change
Just one more predicted decision
In an old astrological game
The star that once had you shining
Has fallen and dissapeared
Our starlit romance
Never stood any chance
It died long before we got here

CHORUS
