for Ronnie

It is a song you think you have heard before
You find your keys and make it to the door
And making your way outside you start to sing
But the song is stopped short as you awake from a dream
it’s alright with the stars in the night
Stars, guitars, and bars
Stars, guitars, and bars
Stars, guitars, and bars
Stars, guitars, and bars

You stumble out of the place you just promised to never go back
And realizing what you’ve said you wish to retract
But everything that blooms shuts with the night
Some things that you love you grow one day to despise
This is our time
Stars, guitars and bars
Stars, guitars and bars
Stars, guitars and bars
Stars, guitars and bars


Spinning, stumbling, mumbling fast
Hoping that you can make this moment last
Putting it all down on one last chance
Hoping to cash in a dream in advance
You can’t see the stars inside a bar
I still feel this heart of mine
Stars, guitars and bars
Stars, guitars and bars
Stars, guitars and bars
Stars, guitars and bars

Goodnight star, I bid you a fond farewell
If you hold the truth to my dreams only time will tell
Most dreams we spend a lifetime chasing
While all the while you are slowly fading
This heart of mine says it’s my time
A dance with the moon
Stars, guitars and bars
Stars, guitars and bars
Stars, guitars and bars
Stars, guitars and bars

Although you fade even now
Dreams fade in and dreams fade out
But they’re still up there somehow
With the passing of time
My dreams will be mine
wishing on a star for a time to prove

This is my time
While I still feel this heart of mine
A dance with the moon
Wishing on a star for a time to prove
Know not where we go from here
