Life is nothing, not a thing
Nothing less than everything
What force propels the shooting star?
The blood of suns is who we are
Music of the spheres
Beyond our mortal ears
We can hear you in the soul
Where the bells of heaven toll
Starlight starbright
First star I see tonight
No selfish wish have I to make
Shine on, shine on, for your own sake
Vast and ancient distant star
How I wonder what you are
Solemn mystery you reveal
Only life alone is real
Floral gardens in the sky
Eternal blossoms flashing by
Galaxies of columbine
Nasturtium, rose and clinging vine
Starlight starbright
First star I see tonight
No selfish wish have I to make
Shine on, shine on, for your own sake
Haunting voices free of form
Babies crying to be born
A brook beside yon garden runs
Galaxies of streaming suns
Big bang trickles to an end
Falls in upon itself again
Like a sailor's concertina
For his lovely ballerina
Starlight starbright
First star I see tonight
No selfish wish have I to make
Shine on, shine on, for your own sake
Starlight starbright
First star I see tonight
No selfish wish have I to make
Shine on, shine on, for your own sake
Shine on, shine on, for your own sake
Shine on, shine on, for your own sake
Shine on, shine on, for your own sake
Shine on, shine on, for your own sake
