Story Behind the Song
A young person had just shown me where Orion's belt was (the constellation – not the actual belt). I was impressed that someone her age would even know. She later told me she only knew because "THE MUPPET BABIES" had an episode where they explained the various constellations. And they say cartoons are bad! I just thought it was kinda neat - this young person knowing where it was, and I decided that "She Shows Me The Stars" would make a great song title.
Lyrics
"She Shows Me The Stars"
(Words and Music By: Tim Love)
Me, a man past my season
And chuck full of reason for feeling that way.
Once fell for a girl and my heart ran away.
She, so beautiful to me.
But would she approve me? I couldn't say.
I stood quietly by, for that was my way….
She, she shows me the stars
And they won't fade away
Shining above her
She makes a blue sky from grey
With the things that she say
And now I love her
I'm always thinking of her….
She has got a crush on him,
And much more than a whim, that I can tell.
I wonder if he's fallen under her spell.
I hope that they keep apart, cause I want her heart
All to myself.
I should have told her exactly how I felt….
She, she shows me the stars
And they won't fade away
Shining above her
She makes a blue sky from grey
With the things that she say
And now I love her
Right now I'm dreaming of her….
Eight years later I met
'Twas my chance to get her into my life.
What a surprise, to find out that she was his wife.
Wish that I had been brighter, should have sat down beside her
Tell her how I feel.
Love is something that you should not try to conceal….
'Cuz She, she showed me the stars
but they're fading away
and falling from her
She turned my blue sky to grey
With the things that she say
It's such a bummer.
I couldn't feel much dumber….
