For You to See the Stars

For You To See The Stars

 (Radney Foster/Jay Clementi/Scott David Laurent)

 1, 2, 3, 4…

 When Grandpa sold the house because the business failed 

 He said rock bottom is just solid ground to start again

 And when life ain’t nothing like a fairy tale

 We just gotta work and hope and pray and say amen

 It's gotta get dark enough for you to see the stars

 Shine like diamonds on black velvet

 Love is just a word until you’ve felt it

 Even when life falls apart 

 Strong enough to break your heart

 It's gotta get dark enough 

 For you to see the stars 

 Darkness fell on me when I lost my Dad

 Girl you were the light that got me through

 You walked right beside me down that road to hell and back

 And in that midnight hour I fell in love with you

 It's gotta get dark enough for you to see the stars

 Shine like diamonds on black velvet

 Love is just a word until you’ve felt it

 Even when life falls apart 

 Strong enough to break your heart

 It's gotta get dark enough 

 For you to see the stars 

 Staring at the sky tonight, never felt so alive 

 Sometimes the lights have to go out 

 For you to see what life’s about

 It's gotta get dark enough for you to see the stars

 Move you like a work of art

 Strong enough to break your heart

 It's gotta be dark enough for you to see the stars 

 For you to see the stars
