These wide open spaces 
Are the same as my heart
So lonely and empty constantly
I miss your embraces 
Ever since we're apart
My one sonsolation seems to be

Singing a song to the stars
And counting each one
Thinking your eyes are the stars
That twinkle, twinkle when the day is done

Crooning a lover's lament
Till morning when dawn comes through
Singing a song to the stars
And dreaming, just dreaming of you
