Shake Down the Stars

Shake down the stars, pull down the clouds

Turn off the moon, do it soon

I know I can't go on without you

Shake down the stars

It's an awful feeling

To watch the moon and stars above

It's an awful feeling

When you're alone without your love

I wish I had a high stepladder

So I could scatter the stars

Shake down the stars, pull down the clouds

Turn off the moon, do it soon

I can't enjoy this night without you

Shake down the stars

Dry up the streams, stop all my dreams

Cut off the breeze, do it please

I never thought I'd cry about you

Shake down the stars

I gave you my arms, my lips, my life

My heart, my love, my all

But the best that I had to offer you

I found was all too small

Crush ev'ry rose, hush ev'ry prayer

Break every vow, do it now

I know I can't go on without you

Shake down the stars

Crush ev'ry rose, hush ev'ry prayer

Break every vow, do it now

I know I can't go on without you

Shake down the stars
