| Well the night goes on forever when you try to make it last
|
| We were passing time together, just laying in the grass
|
| And we looked up at the heaven, and we saw the worlds collide
|
| We were lying still and watching, they were flying through the sky
|
| The stars in Oklahoma
|
| Never seen a night so cool and clear
|
| Shootin' stars in Oklahoma
|
| Burn so bright, then they disappear
|
| Well the moonlight has a way of throwing shadows on the night
|
| It would be a shame to waste it on a place we had to hide
|
| With the morning glowing bright and shining light upon our faces
|
| We faded with the dawn, and then we went our separate ways
|
| 'Neath the stars in Oklahoma
|
| Never seen a night so cool and clear
|
| Shootin' stars in Oklahoma
|
| They shine so bright, then they disappear
|
| Ah the stars in Oklahoma and the banks in late September
|
| And I lead you through the darkness on a night you won’t remember
|
| Is everyone that easy? |
| Do they all just play the fool?
|
| Are they all just out here lookin' for a way to break the rules?
|
| Well it would take a fool to say it, like a photograph o' grace
|
| Fools need supervision, or a gift for saving face
|
| Yeah, we got it on a handshake, bought it for a song
|
| Yeah, chase a simple feeling for doing something wrong
|
| 'Neath the stars in Oklahoma
|
| Never seen a night so cool and clear
|
| Shootin' stars in Oklahoma
|
| Shine so bright, then they disappear
|
| Shine so bright, then they disappear |
