Lyrics
"The moons up
and the suns down
And a thousand
starry eyes have caught me crying
You don't die of a
broken heart
You just lie down
and give up trying
And it's gonna be a
long night, all night
It's such a long
hard fight
Keeping the tear
drops out of sight
Waiting for morning
light
It's gonna be a long
night
It's all gone but
the memories
Come back to me in
scattered pieces
Your eyes shine
Your smile glows
And my loneliness
for you increases
And it's gonna be a
long night, all night
It's such a long
hard fight
Keeping the tear
drops out of sight
Waiting for morning
light
It's gonna be a long
night
The moon's up and
the sun's down
And a thousand
starry eyes have caught me crying
You don't die of a
broken heart
You just lie down
and give up trying
And it's gonna be a
long night, all night
It's such a long
hard fight
Keeping the tear
drops out of sight
Waiting for morning
light
It's gonna be a long
night"
