born from a twinkle in her eye
tonight she's leaving
soon she'll be far away
tomorrow she'll be sleeping
and i don't wanna hear you tell a lie
and i don't wanna watch you say goodbye
it's a matter of star-crossed lovers
but there's a moon in the way
i wonder if we will see each other
i wonder if you will stay
born from a twinkle in her eye
tonight she's leaving
soon she'll be far away
tomorrow she'll be sleeping
and i don't wanna see you in the sky
and i don't wanna long to hear your sigh
it's a matter of fact or fiction
but i'm just too tired to read
i wonder if we will see each other
i wonder if you will stay
born from a twinkle in her eye
tonight she's leaving
soon she'll be far away
tomorrow she'll be sleeping
