First Star Lyrics

Sing me something sweet
And let it send me off to sleep
But dance me down the street
Under the silent weight of dreams
You smoke too many cigarettes
Trying to remember to forget the way we met
The alphabet
All the letters you regret having sent

I've been wonderin' 'bout who's gonna walk you home
Now that spring's began
When the first star comes out
All your worries and doubts
Can't hold your hand

Try to make a wish
Your heart beating in your wrist
Rеmember that first kiss
Imagine what you missеd
Sometimes the highway stops
And all the traffic seems to
Drop out of your head
I'm very sad
For all the words you always nearly should have said

I've been curious about who's holding you now
That spring's began
When the first star comes out
Remember how I used to hold your hand

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
