Shake down the stars, pull down the clouds, turn off the moon, do it soon,

I can't enjoy the night without you, shake down the stars.

Dry up the streams, stop all my dreams, cut off the breeze, do it please,

I never thought I'd cry about you, shake down the stars.

I gave you my arms, my lips, my heart, my love, my life, my all,

But the best that I had to offer you, I found was all too small.

Crush every rose, hush every pray'r, break every vow, do it now,

I know I cannot live without you, shake down the stars.
