I'll hold you one more time tonight
With arms as tough as bailer twine
I'll stem your tears with sage advice
The harshest, bluntest facts of life
The sun and the moon and the stars won't budge from where they are
The sun and the moon and the stars won't budge from where they are
You know I'm a betting man
But sorrow holds the strongest hand
Let's play this out with a pair of threes
And a bluffers smile that's hard to beat
The sun and the moon and the stars won't budge from where they are
The seasons and the tides won't care for you or I
So you'll shrink a little bit
No you'll never get over it
But it doesn't mean that you won't smile
So you'll shrink a little bit
No you'll never get over it
But I'll be here for you
We'll be here for you
Play you a symphony in full
The intricate melody won't calm your nerves
Sing you a lullaby you know
The simplest of melodies will sooth your soul
Read you a story out in full
The richest of languages won't calm your nerve
Tell you a simple verse I know
Repeating the same three word could save your soul
The sun and the moon and the stars won't budge from where they are
The seasons and the tides won't care for you or I
The daylight shines, the daylight shines
And the streetlight shines
Play me a symphony you know
I'll play you the same three chords 'cos it's all I know
