What Did You See Inside The Stars? Lyrics - Now - Linda Eder

A window opened in the sky 

The night that we first kissed 

And though we slept beneath the stars 

You were wide awake 

I lay bewildered by your touch 

Heard your almost sighs 

Felt your tears fall on my skin 

As if you'd break 

You saw the end in our beginning 

Strange the way it goes 

Was your heart too shadowed by your scars? 

You whispered, "This can never be" 

As you looked into the sky 

What did you see inside the stars? 

And in the end, you couldn't bear 

What you could not control 

So with one unfinished prayer 

I let you disappear 

So many words you never said 

So many songs that died 

What pulled us from each other's arms was fear 

And now you come and stand before me? 

After all these years 

You pull me in and tell me you were wrong 

But don't you know the summer's over? 

Oh, you waited too long 

What did you see inside the stars? 

You know we had a chance that summer 

I should not have let go 

Should have ripped those stars out of the sky 

I always knew you loved me 

You would not let it show 

Do you know how long I've wondered why? 

And now you come and stand before me 

After all these years 

You pull me in and tell me you were wrong 

But don't you know the summer's over? 

Oh, you waited too long 

Was there such danger in the stars? 

Why did you sink into the stars? 

What did you see inside the stars?
