Stars

Stood out in the rain Let it soak me down Before I called you . . . I called You didn't see me there Hidden by the rain Beneath your window . . . but I saw you Putting on your face before the Mirror on the wall Dreaming that the looking glass was me Catching your fondest gazes Living through your fickle phases I love you And it's getting easier each day To weep about you Harder every night to sleep without you How many years must I be driven By this dream Of love with you? Spend my dimes on phones Trying just to talk but You don't answer . . . you let it ring Spend my nights alone Catching falling stars to Give to you, love They're just for you For stars fall every time a Lover has to face the truth And far too many stars have fell on me And as they trail the skies And burn their paths upon my eyes I cry --- Stars - Dan Fogelberg
