Just below the exit sign

You were shining like the moon

You looked at me as if

You left your heart somewhere

And now you've gone and closed the door.



I tried to smile; I tried to play

The one who simply walks away

But the streeetlights sing your song

And I can't get along

Without your love inside of me.



Run away, run away

Don't let the stars get in your way

The sky was painted blue

The night that time stood still



The paper skies are packed away

The Chinese lanterns swing and sway

You said that love was like a traveling rodeo

It comes to town and then it goes



Far away, in love's junk store

I found your letter waiting at my door

It said "I loved you so.

You made my life stand still."

It said "I loved you so.

You made my life stand still."
