The Stars by Thomas Hopkins Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Night after night, I would look up to the sky
Watching over me I'd see the stars that guard the night
Young and full of thought, I'd see a history of war to be
My dreams would bring me closer to the lands above my head
[Chorus]
Time has gone since those days, now all I see whenever I gaze
Is a distant maze of diamond flames but something hasn't changed
Now I understand the lights, my life is faster and I need more time
But I still remember when I was young and I smile
[Verse 2]
New to life, I searched for more
I lived a thousand livеs within my bedroom door
Mesmerisеd by the worlds I saw
Made of cardboard, wood, maybe something of yours
When the sun would set, the day is done
Before I'd rest after another one
I'd gaze through my window to the endless blue
And feel safe, who knew what the future would come to?
[Chorus]
Time has gone since those days, now all I see whenever I gaze
Is a distant maze of diamond flames but something hasn't changed
Now I understand the lights, my life is faster and I need more time
But I still remember when I was young and I smile
[Bridge]
If I went to the clouds and back
Then I would know where my memories went
Every single night when I look at the sky
I think of my dreams and I wonder why
If I went to the clouds and back
Then I would know where my memories went
Every single night when I look at the sky
I think of my dreams and I wonder why
[Chorus]
Time has gone since those days, now all I see whenever I gaze
Is a distant maze of diamond flames but something hasn't changed
Now I understand the lights, my life is faster and I need more time
But I still remember when I was young and I smile
[Chorus]
Time has gone since those days, now all I see whenever I gaze
Is a distant maze of diamond flames but something hasn't changed
Now I understand the lights, my life is faster and I need more time
But I still remember when I was young and I smile
[Bridge]
If I went to the clouds and back
Then I would know where my memories went
Every single night when I look at the sky
I think of my dreams and I wonder why
If I went to the clouds and back
Then I would know where my memories went
Every single night when I look at the sky
I think of my dreams and I wonder why
Night after night, I would look up to the sky
Watching over me I'd see the stars that guard the night
Young and full of thought, I'd see a history of war to be
My dreams would bring me closer to the lands above my head
[Chorus]
Time has gone since those days, now all I see whenever I gaze
Is a distant maze of diamond flames but something hasn't changed
Now I understand the lights, my life is faster and I need more time
But I still remember when I was young and I smile
[Verse 2]
New to life, I searched for more
I lived a thousand livеs within my bedroom door
Mesmerisеd by the worlds I saw
Made of cardboard, wood, maybe something of yours

And feel safe, who knew what the future would come to?
[Chorus]
Time has gone since those days, now all I see whenever I gaze
Is a distant maze of diamond flames but something hasn't changed
Now I understand the lights, my life is faster and I need more time

[Bridge]
If I went to the clouds and back
Then I would know where my memories went
Every single night when I look at the sky
I think of my dreams and I wonder why
If I went to the clouds and back
Then I would know where my memories went
Every single night when I look at the sky
I think of my dreams and I wonder why
[Chorus]
Time has gone since those days, now all I see whenever I gaze
Is a distant maze of diamond flames but something hasn't changed
Now I understand the lights, my life is faster and I need more time

If I went to the clouds and back
Then I would know where my memories went
Every single night when I look at the sky
I think of my dreams and I wonder why
