I Fell in Love with the Wrong Man

the stars are beautiful
their light is magical
but so cold

heartbreaking memories
appearing here and now
but so old

how many lonely hearts will sigh tonight
and reminisce as they look at the light
of empty silverness
of aching timelessness
and tell the distant stars as tears well in their eyes :

"I fell in love with the wrong man, yeah
I fell in love with the wrong man"

once, there was there a time
when stars were warm with light sublime
but that is in the past
now he's gone

see how far away
the light of stars that shine today
a light that heaven made
long ago

the stars fixed in the sky
are shining trembling light
through cold air

sad eyes look heavenwards
a dream is unfulfilled
but still there

how many broken hearts will cry tonight
lost in a dream as they reach for the light
and feel the emptiness
and feel the loneliness
and tell the stars they are beholding all alone :

"I fell in love with the wrong man, yeah
I fell in love with the wrong man"
