Little sister, playing hide-and-seek even though mama told you I’m really gone

If you miss me, sneak a peek at my diary or read the peek-a-boo sky that lights the night

I’ll say this once: "Light up the night, stardust"

When it hurts inside, read all the signs, follow

It’s okay to feel down

And just remember, that nothing’s made to last

I know you’re sad, that too will pass, that too will pass, in passing

La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la

La, la

Little sister, ignore local news

Papers come from trees we’ll never climb

What a joke, they made me look so sad

That bad, bad lake’s okay, it washed my hair

And the waves said: "Light up the night, stardust"

When it hurts inside, read all the signs, follow

It’s okay to feel down

And just remember, that nothing’s made to last

I know you’re sad, that too will pass, that too will pass

That too will pass, that too will pass, that too will pass, in passing

La, la, la, la, la

La, la

In passing, look past the night stardust

(Look past the night)

When it hurts inside, read all the signs, follow

(Read all the signs)

It’s okay to feel down

And just remember, that nothing’s made to last

I know you’re sad, that too will pass, that too will pass, in passing

Light up the night, stardust

(Light up the night)

When it hurts inside, read all the signs, follow

(Read all the signs)

It’s okay to feel down

And just remember, that nothing’s made to last

I know you’re sad, that too will pass, that too will pass

That too will pass, that too will pass, that too will pass

You'll recall all that, ‘til one day, you too will pass
