Lyrics

Oh, stars on high, why can't I make you see?
That I don't want your light to shine on me
He said goodbye
Just let me cry, yeah
Don't let me hear the robins sing above
What good's their song if I've no one to love?
He said goodbye
Just let me cry, yeah
Hide every lovely flower from my sight
Don't let that dreamy moon come out, oh, tonight
And please don't let me see two lovers kiss (Two lovers kiss)
Don't let me be reminded, what I miss (What I miss)
He said goodbye
Just let me cry, yeah
He said goodbye
Just let me cry, yeah
Just let me cry
Just let me cry
Just let me cry
