The Stars Grow Dimmer Lyrics

The skies grow dark as you wander far away

And I know now why you said what you did to me

I'll never forget your words for all my life

You climb up all the branches of the trees to stars

I found you as you drifted from the top

And the stars were shining bright

As you flew away

But you once said the words

You said hold me if you are tired

And hold me if you are weak

So hold me be still and faithful

And hold me gentler still

But the stars grew dimmer in your eyes

The stars grew dimmer in your eyes

I tried to climb but I held to hard to the hope

And as I stepped all the branches broke beneath its weight

I guess you knew your heart and heard your head

But I won't forget those words that you said

You said hold me if you are tired

And hold me if you are weak

So hold me be still and faithful

And hold me gentler still

As the stars grew dimmer in your eyes

The stars grew dimmer in your eyes

Why didn't I hold you?

Why didn't I hold you?

Why didn't I hold those warm arms of yours?

Maybe I was afraid of one day letting go

As stars grow dimmer in my eyes

The stars grow dimmer in my eyes
