Stars Barbara Cook

[Chorus]
Stars, they come and go
They come fast or slow
They go like the last light of the sun
All in a blaze
And all you see is glory
Hey, but it gets lonely there
When there's no one here to share
We can shake it away
If you'll hear a story

[Verse 1]
People lust for fame
Like athletes in a game
We break our collarbones
And come up swinging
Some of us are downed
Some of us are crowned
And some arе lost and never found
But most have seen it all
Thеy live their lives
In sad cafés and music halls
They always come up singing

[Verse 2]
Some make it when they're young
Before the world has done its dirty job
And later on, someone will say
"You've had your day
Now you must make way"
Some make it when they're old
Perhaps they have a soul
They're not afraid to bare
Or perhaps there's nothing there
