"Why The Bright Stars Glow (Moon And Stars / Acoustic)" lyrics

Valerie June Lyrics

"Why The Bright Stars Glow (Moon And Stars / Acoustic)"
(feat. Mavis Staples)

When the race is run
And the gold is won
Look how far we've come
Dancing in the sun
It is then I know
I can't let you go
It is then I know
It's not suitable

To say I, to say I, to say I
To say I, to say I, to say I

'Cause what would we do
And where would we be
If it's not you
If it's not you and me
If it's not you
If it's not you

As the curtains close
On a sold-out show
Look how far we've come
Dancing in the sun
It is then I know
Why the bright stars glow
It is then I know
It's impossible

To say I, to say I, to say I
To say I, to say I, to say I

Darling, you know
Where I would be
All that we share
All that we see
Where would we be

If it's not you
If it's not you and me
If it's not you
If it's not you
(Shine on...)
Why the bright stars...
If it's not you
If it's not you
If it's not you and...
If it's not you and
You and me
