Lyrics
By Starlight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
By starlight I'll kiss you
And promise to be your one and only
I'll make you feel happy
And leave you to be lost in mine
And where will we go, what will we do?
Soon said I, will know
And are you just like me?
Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me?
Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas, yeah
Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me?
And all along
We knew we'd carry on
Just to belong
By starlight I know you
As lovely as a wish granted true
My life has been empty
My life has been untrue
And does she really know, who I really am?
Does she really know me at last?
And are you just like me?
Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me?
Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas, yeah
Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me?
And are you just like me?
And are you just like me?
And are you just like me?
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
