The stars are bright tonight

The stars are bright tonight
Twink’ling down from their heavens
Smiling at the sorry world below
“Don’t worry” they sing, “Don’t cry“

On the sorry earth below,
The dark-haired youth gazes up
Looking deep into the glittering blackness
Unsmiling, he cries softly

On the sorry earth below,
The fair-haired youth gazes up
Looking deep into the glittering blackness
Unsmiling, he cries softly

Ignorant each one, of the other’s quiet existence
Ignorant of someone to whom they can confide
Ignorant of their true destined love
Softly, they cry… Alone

The stars, in their infinite wisdom
See their pain, their lonely despair
Gently, they sing, sending their twink’ling magic
Winding down to the sorry earth, and these two boys

The stars are bright tonight
Twink’ling down from their heavens
Smiling at the healing world below
“Don’t worry” they sing, “Don’t cry“

On the healing earth below,
The two youths sit together
Looking deep into the glittering blackness
Uncrying, smiling widely.
Together in Love
