"Dishonor The Stars" Lyrics

If you wake and chance

to look above you

There's one that I named to show how

much I love you

Hanging up high

Poets long have written and

have sung of

moonlight and some

distant satellite and

when we're young we wish

upon them

Other men may only dream

to kiss you

But it's not a thrill like this

Put your lips a little closer to my cheek

then whisper,

then speak

So, tell me if you know

How deep can this thing go?

Honey will still desire the flowers

And there will be a love like ours

Until the sky dishonors the stars

What in the world would all this

amount to?

If I can't tell you how much

I want you

On such a night the sky might

dishonor the stars

Disown and dishonor the stars

Poets long have written and

have sung of

moonlight and some

distant satellite and

when we're young we wish

upon them

Other men may only dream to kiss you

But it's not a thrill like this

Put your lips a little closer to my cheek

then whisper,

then speak

So, tell me if you know

How deep can this thing go?

Honey will still desire the flowers

And there will be a love like ours

Until the sky dishonors the stars

What in the world would all this

amount to?

If I can't tell you how much

I want you

On such a night the sky might

dishonor the stars

Disown and dishonor the stars
