Stars

Starlight twinkling down

Your shine like lights up in this town

We went cruisin' Lowe and 85

Thought I'd start a new journey with your hand in mine

We wrote stories together

Sang songs in the night

I made sure I'd be there with you

Holding you tight

I will take care of you

If the stars go out one night

I will wipe all your tears

If the feeling ain't right

And when your folks are gone

And we've reached 55

I'll still hold your hand

Always be by your side

Always be by your side

We grew up so quick

Maybe just too fast

We both messed around

But don't dwell on the past

Look where we are

Barely passed 40

Burying your mom

Who had been sick lately

It was turned to me

And when she raised her voice

And I kept on praying

To be your choice

I will take care of you

If the stars go out one night

I will wipe all your tears

If the feeling ain't right

And when your folks are gone

And we've reached 55

I'll still hold your hand

Always be by your side

Always be by your side

The song was getting hard to sing

Always write about love

I remember you lying there

In that room

With cancer beating you down

And I'm asked over and over

If you should live or you should pass

And I'll never discover

How long always this last

This life isn't worth living

With someone by your side

So I'll tell you again

Before we all say goodbye

I will take care of you

If the stars go out one night

I will wipe all your tears

If the feeling ain't right

And when your folks are gone

And we've reached 55

I'll still hold your hand

Always be by your side

Always be by your side
