lyrics

I’d steal the stars at night fer you
Set them inside paper lanterns if y’asked me to
Let them fly so high and true
I’d steal the stars at night fer you

OoooooooOoOOOOohhhh,
There ya go …
Oooo-ooooh
Reapin’ what ya sew ..

Lasso the moon and then we’ll hang it on the line
Swing to and fro and let the silver moonlight shine
Shadows cast won’t last – they’re just fleeting and sublime
I’d steal the stars at night fer you

OoooooooOoOOOOohhhh,
There ya go …
Oooo-ooooh
Reapin’ what ya sew ..

First time I saw ya was the moment you arrived
Focus at that time was just keepin’ you alive
Only fools would doubt ya for a moment
Coz of course against all odds, ya thrived

Capture the sun and then we’ll mix it in the pot
We’ll paint the sunset and we’ll gaze at what we’ve got
And just like Tennessee Lightnin’ Bugs, in unison we’ll plot
I’d steal the stars at night fer you …

OoooooooOoOOOOohhhh,
There ya go …
Oooo-ooooh
Reapin’ what ya sew …
