The Day stars went to Sleep

Softly now, gently, my dear
For the day is dawning and the sun is waking up.
Swiftly now, slowly,
The singer’s voice invites us to the dance floor
And the moon is standing still,
But you said stars would never sleep.

The old songs are dying in the attics
Of our youth;
The idols of our times fade.
But when the times comes when you voice
Will be forgotten
We’ll know it is the day the stars have gone
To sleep

It doesn’t matter who you are underneath
The makeup
As long as you look like “you”
And no one will know
The rebel inside
Unless the stars go to sleep tonight.
