Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes
Dave Dudley · Other Songs - Dave Dudley
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Keep your heart for me for someday I'll return
And you'll know you're the only one I'll ever love
Too many nights, too many stars
Too many moons could change your mind
If I'm gone too long don't forget where you belong
When the stars come out remember you are mine
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Keep your heart for me for someday I'll return
And you'll know you're the only one I'll ever love
Too many miles, too many days
Too many nights to be alone
Oh, please keep your heart while we are apart
Don't linger in the moonlight while I'm gone
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Keep your heart for me for someday I'll return
And you'll know you're the only one I'll ever love
