Skeets McDonald – Don’t Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes lyrics
[Chorus]
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes
Don’t let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night in daylight it dies
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes
[Post-Chorus]
So keep your heart for me for someday I’ll return
And you know you’re the only one I’ll ever love
[Verse 1]
Too many nights, too many stars
Too many moons to change your mind
If I’m gone too longm don’t forget where you belong
When the stars come out remember you are mine
[Chorus]
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes
Don’t let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night in daylight it dies
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes
[Post-Chorus]
So keep your heart for me for someday I’ll return
And you know you’re the only one I’ll ever love
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Too many miles, too many days
Too many nights to be alone
So please keep your heart while we’re apart
Don’t stand in the moonlight while I’m gone
[Chorus]
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes
Don’t let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night in daylight it dies
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes
[Post-Chorus]
So keep your heart for me for someday I’ll return
And you know you’re the only one I’ll ever love
GENIUS
