From the recording A Good Life
Music and lyrics by Peggy Watson
Lyrics
I have tried to please many a man
Walked the road between my dreams
Holding the fire in my own hand
I felt the waves of love wash over me
Drifted like a leaf without a care
On a dark and stormy sea
But it always comes to pass
That the feeling will not last
And the stars can only shine at night
Everything looks so different in the daylight
Every promise I have sworn to keep
I was sure as a fortune-teller
My love line long and deep
Every love was strong and true
Till the kiss of morning dew
And the stars can only shine at night
Everything looks so different in the daylight
Lying here alone
In my quiet home
Cause the seasons change too fast
And the feeling will not last
And the stars are only stars at night
Everything looks so different in the daylight
