someone told, someone knew
something borrowed wasn't blue
could it be you're wasting all this time?
baby's cold, baby blue
if you lose it, lose it soon
'cause i can't take much more of this night
when you showed
something flew
a star or dream i never knew
i want the stars, sun and moon
to shine exclusively for you
....and your blues
from tomorrow to your muse
god, i hope you gave them all away
something old, something new
in a daydream built for two
i still see reflections to this day
i still see reflections every day
when you showed
something flew
a star or dream i never knew
i want the stars, sun and moon
to shine exclusively for you
i can't stop, how could you?
it's amazing what we'd do
if you made one single muttered sigh
someone sold all we view
begged and borrowed, stole it too
someone came, saw, ran and left us high
when you showed
something flew
a star or dream i never knew
i want the stars, sun and moon
to shine exclusively for you
