Dishonor The Stars

Elvis Costello

If you wake and chance to look above you

There's one I named to show how much I love you

Hanging up high

Poets long have written and have sung

Of moonlight and some distant satellite

And when we're young we wish upon them

Other men may only dream to kiss you

But it's not a thrill like this

Put your lips a little closer to my cheek

Then whisper, then speak

So, tell me if you know

How deep can this thing go?

Honey will still desire the flowers

And there will be a love like ours

Until the sky dishonours the stars

What in the world would all this amount to?

If I can't tell you how much I want you

On such a night the sky might dishonour the stars

Disown and dishonour the stars

Poets long have written and have sung

Of moonlight and some distant satellite

And when we're young we wish upon them

Other men may only dream to kiss you

But it's not a thrill like this

Put your lips a little closer to my

Cheek then whisper, then speak

So, tell me if you know

How deep can this thing go?

Honey will still desire the flowers

And there will be a love like ours

Until the sky dishonours the stars

What in the world would all this amount to?

If I can't tell you how much I want you

On such a night the sky might dishonour the stars

Disown and dishonour the stars
