Tonight the stars have fallen from grace
Tonight so heavenly they light up your face
A perfect picture of love I have known
So why does your mother cry?
And why do we even try?

Tonight the stars have fallen from grace
One tiny teardrop now falls from your face
Has God forsaken, or is that what love means?
A thousand voices telling me

You and I know the fool can see
Too much pressure is killing me
Every day is a day too late
And why does your mother cry?
Why do we even try?

What can I do? Tell me, what can I say?
A child so heavenly was taken away
Let's start to live again, let's start a new home
Anywhere there's a garden

You and I know the fool can see
Too much pressure is killing me
Every day is a day too late
And why does your mother cry?
Why do we even try?
