  • I couldn't see a thing tonight
    Not one star
    Not one star has shone for you
    I couldn't see a thing tonight
    Not one star
    Not one star has shone for you

    I couldn't see a thing tonight
    Not one star
    Not one star has shone for you
    I couldn't see a thing tonight
    Not one star
    Not one star has shone for you
    I add a little candlelight to get through

    Oh, I couldn't see the moon tonight
    Not one wave
    Not one wave was out for you
    No, I couldn't see the pale moonlight
    Not one part
    Not one wave was coming through
    And I'm terrified to look outside
    'Cause I need you

    Starlight makes it all the same
    No light and I feel the pain
    Starlight makes it all a game with you, baby
    Starlight and I feel the same
    Missed flight on this airplane
    I'd jump from a moving train
    Just to keep you, would you do it for me?

    Oh, I couldn't see the sky tonight
    Not one star, not one star has shone for you
    Yeah, I had a real hard time tonight
    I still feel your breath
    Oh my love I hold for you
    And I think that I've been holding out
    To hold onto
    And I'm terrified to look outside
    'Cause I need you

    Something about you is like
    Drinking a cold glass of water
    Everyone needs a place to go to sometimes
    Something about you is like
    Going against Mother Nature
    And I decide to face her every time

    Starlight makes it all the same
    No light and I feel the pain
    Starlight makes it all a game with you, baby
    Starlight and I feel the same
    Missed flight on this airplane
    I'd jump from a moving train
    Just to keep you, would you do it for me?

    As I watch you walk across the street
    I keep wondering why I can't leave
    All the heavens are against me and you
    Do you even know a thing 'bout me?
    Do you even think about my needs?
    'Cause I need you

    I couldn't see a thing tonight
    Not one star, not one star was out for you Writer/s: RACHAEL YAMAGATA
