No Stars by Tommy Wallach Lyrics

If I could give you forever
I’d love to give you forever
But I cannot give you forever
No one can

And if I could tell you your purpose
I’d love to tell you your purpose
But I cannot give you your purpose
I’m just a man

No stars, no moon, no sun
No empty words about some only one
All that I have is this beat inside my chest
I cannot give you the rest

If I could answer your questions
I’d gladly answer your questions
But I cannot answer your questions
Or my own

And if I could swallow your sadness
Fill all your long days with gladness
Oh I would, but to ask would be madness
Me all alone
No moon, no sun, no stars
No springtimes spent on Jupiter and Mars
All that I have is this scrap of life to live
What more would you have me give?

No promises
No vow, no ring
Cause every promise made
Is a debt that must be paid
And you don't owe me anything

No sun, no stars, no moon
No honeyed words, no sentimental tune
All that I want is this beat inside your chest
The best that you can do
To spend some fraction of this disappearing night with you

But no stars, no moon, no sun...
