Why The Stars Shine

I'll tell you, I'll tell you
I'm right this time
I've thought it out thoroughly
My darling, I'd bet my last dime
That I can tell you why the stars shine

I was positive I knew it before
When I found out the truth
I nearly fell to the floor
What's the use, in living
If you can't look to the sky and see the stars shine?

Here's the deal
When you were mine
And I used to look deeply into your eyes
I could see the little white lights (even in the daytime)
Now it's all part of the past, and I no longer see the stars shine

I'll tell you, I'll tell you why
The stars shine
I've tested many theories
This scientific question has become a part of me
The secret lies in the iris
The door to the soul, your soul, my soul
My darling, someone once told me
They could see
Little white specs in my eyes, you see
And in that very second, it all made sense
The stars in the sky
Shined the second your eyes met mine
