THE STARS DIDN'T SHOW
10 cc


We came from miles around 
Just to listen to your sound 
You made the night seem endless 
You cast a magic spell 
You played the part so well 
Your music blew away the darkness 
We loved you for better 
We loved you for worse 
But we never took you for granted 
Your lives were a blessing 
But they carried a curse 
The night that the stars didn't show 
You made me stand so proud 
I was lifted from the crowd 
The fire inside me burning 
The figure dressed in black 
Sending shivers down my back 
Deep inside my soul was stirring 
We loved you for better 
We loved you for worse 
The sweet inspiration that you gave us 
And I can remember we didn't rehearse 
The night that the stars didn't show 
Mountains may crumble 
And worlds fall apart 
Lovers and friends may desert me 
The road may be long 
But I know in my heart 
Your spirit will always be with me 
The thrill to be up there 
A sea of faces everywhere 
I look I find you 
We loved you for better 
We loved you for worse 
But we never took you for granted 
Your lives were a blessing 
But they carried a curse 
The night that the stars didn't show 
We loved you for better 
We loved you for worse 
The sweet inspiration that you gave us 
And I can remember we didn't rehearse 
The night that the stars didn't show
