Shake Down The Stars
Eddie Delange, Jimmy Van Heusen
Shake down the stars
pull down the clouds
turn off the moon, do it soon
I can't enjoy this 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 life, my love, my all
But the best things I had to offer you
I found were all too small
Crush every rose
Hush every prayer
Break every vow, do it now
I know I can't go on without you
Shake down the stars.
Coda: Night time will soon appear
Stars shine but you're not here.
So please, shake down the stars.
