WHY STARS COME OUT AT NIGHT
(Ray Noble)

Carroll Gibbons


Do you know why stars come out at night
It's curious the way they do
The answer is simply this
They love to look at you

Do you know why owls come out at night
and ask each other hoo-hoo-hoo.
The answer is simply this
They love to look at you

The wise old moon up yonder, the little clouds that wonder
They've all fallen under your spell
And I am a captive as well
Forever and ever.

Now you know why stars come out at night
They feel the same as I do too
They want to say that I may
Forever stay with you.
