lyrics

You're speaking words
But they're not language
And you're not speaking them to me

She learned the song of
Some handsome stranger
Half new and half what I wanted to be

There are stars in your eyes
There are stars in your eyes
There's some distant light I can barely surmise
There are stars in your eyes

Can you write me a letter
With all dots and dashes
And the cursive twirl of your wrist

A dictionary of new translations
Appropriate interpretations
For this strange tongue and its latest twist

There are stars in your eyes
There are stars in your eyes
There's a lexicon of love and surprise
There are stars in your eyes

I don't speak the language or I've forgotten the words
So don't blame me if I hadn't heard

About the stars in your eyes
There are stars in your eyes
There's hoping for something new from this life
There are stars in your eyes
