The stars that wouldn't shine they don't go away
Just cause you don't see them shinngin here today
The stars that wouldn't shine just haven't been seen here
And they might may not arrive for a million years

The stars that wouldn't shine have been left for dead
Because they take their time you haven't seen them yet
They may not arrive for a million days
It don't mean they don't try to make it through the haze

The stars that wouldn't shine
The stars that wouldn't shine
(shine)

They cross the darken skies like a ghostly ship
And because they deny your eyes you'd like to say they don't exist
They may not reach these shores until we're all long dead
But like a light your seeing now they are light years ahead

The stars that wouldn't shine
The stars that wouldn't shine
(shine)

The stars that wouldn't shine don't mean you no harm
They mean to help you keep you safe & warm
And if their loving fingers haven't found you yet
I will remind you lest you forget

The stars that wouldn't shine
The stars that wouldn't shine
The stars that wouldn't shine
The stars that wouldn't shine
The stars that wouldn't shine
The stars that wouldn't shine
(repeat)
