Come outside with me tonight. The stars are crystal clear.
C F C G
Romantic points, such distant lights. So watch them with me, dear.
F C
The fusion engine in a star for billions lights its day.

But we cannot warm our hearts from a source so far away.
F C E Am
I admire silently all your charms so bright.
F G G7 C
Can I hold you closely in my arms tonight?
Stars are as eternal as the cosmos let us come.
Carpe dusk and carpe noctum, wrote my friend John Donne.
The fusion engine in a star for billions lights its day.
But we cannot warm our hearts from a source so far away.
I admire silently all your charms so bright.
Won't you hold me closely in your arms tonight?
When twilight comes, your shoulders are like Atlas, for the world.
The scale is wrong, so drop that weight, and lie beside me curled.
The fusion engine in a star for billions lights its day.
But we cannot warm our hearts from a source so far away.
I admire silently all your charms so bright.
Can I hold you closely in my arms tonight?
F G
We have so many things to do, the dreams and goals we chase.
Am C
The press of business says some things must wait.
G Am
The sun has set, and the wind blows cold across my face,
F G -- G7
and tomorrow may already be too late.
Come outside with me tonight. The stars are crystal clear.
Romantic points, such distant lights. So watch them with me, dear.
The fusion engine in a star for billions lights its day.
But we cannot warm our hearts from a source so far away.
I admire silently all your charms so bright.
Won't you hold me closely in your arms tonight?
