Tonight I have a date
A date with the stars
The world has gone to bed
And left us here to float far
It always starts off so innocent
They look so magnificent
And then they blow you apart
And you begin to reminisce
To fight the loneliness
That grows when a love departs
Tonight I have a date
A date with the stars
The constellation smiles
And opens her arms
And flow'ry will get you everywhere
Cling to me and leave me there
I need this crutch for my heart
It always ends up this way
Each time I have a date with the stars
And vanity flatters no one
The glow will melt as time goes on
Like candles just before the dawn
That leaves me here in the dark
Each time I have a date with the stars
