Turn Out the Stars
Bill Evans, Gene Lees
[Verse]
Turn out the stars
Turn out the stars
Let eternal darkness hide me
If I can't have you beside me
Put out their fires
Their endless splendor
Only reminds me of your tenderness
Stop the ocean's roar
Don't let the rivers run
Let me hear no more
The wondrous music of a skylark in the sun
Let it be done
Turn out the stars
Turn out the stars
Shut off their light
Stop every comet in its magic lonely flight
Let there be night
Turn out the stars
