The stars that wouldn't shine 
they don't go away 
Just cause you don't see them 
shining here today 

The stars that wouldn't shine 
just haven't been seen here 
And they might may not arrive 
for a million years 

The stars that wouldn't shine 
have been left for dead
Because they take their time 
you haven't seen them yet 

They may not arrive for a million days
 It don't mean they don't try 
to make it through the haze 

The stars that wouldn't shine 
The stars that wouldn't shine 

They cross the darken skies 
like a ghostly ship 
And because they deny your eyes 
you'd like to say they don't exist
 They may not reach these shores
 until we're all long dead 

But like a light your seeing now 
they are light years ahead

The stars that wouldn't shine 
The stars that wouldn't shine 

The stars that wouldn't shine 
don't mean you no harm 
They mean to help you 
keep safe & warm 
And if their loving fingers 
haven't found you yet 
I will reminder you lest you forget 

The stars that wouldn't shine
The stars that wouldn't shine 
The stars that wouldn't shine
The stars that wouldn't shine
