10cc — The Stars Didn’t Show

[Intro] Ooh yeah [Verse 1] We came from miles around Just to listen to your sound You made the night seem endless You cast a magic spell You played the part so well Your music blew away the darkness [Chorus] We loved you for better We loved you for worse But we never took you for granted Your lives were a blessing But they carried a curse The night that the stars didn't show [Verse 2] You made me stand so proud I was lifted from the crowd The fire inside me burning The figure dressed in black Sending shivers down my back Deep inside my soul was stirring [Chorus] We loved you for better We loved you for worse The sweet inspiration that you gave us And I can remember We didn't rehearse The night that the stars didn't show [Bridge] Mountains may crumble And worlds fall apart Lovers and friends may desert me The road may be long But i know in my heart Your spirit will always be with me [Verse 3] The thrill to be up there A sea of faces everywhere I look, I found you [Chorus] Loved you for better We loved you for worse But we never took you for granted Your lives were a blessing But they carried a curse The night that the stars didn't show We loved you for better We loved you for worse The sweet inspiration that you gave us And I can remember We didn't rehearse The night that the stars didn't show [Outro] Ah
