Stars Are a Dime a Dozen

Roses are so overdone
The weeping willow is no fun
The sky is too blue
The moon is so new
Stars are a dime a dozen

When love passes you by
Each step begins with a sigh
And you just want to cry
And crawl in bed and hide
Stars are a dime a dozen

Heaven so full of twinkles
Heaven those stars sprinkle
Wishes and desires
With bright they flame the fires

Stars, stars, grant me my love
Stars, stars, in Heaven above
If my wish is sincere
Let me hold her so dear

The sun is too yellow
Flowers have mellowed
Leaves on the trees have browned
Like my heart, fallen to the ground
Stars are a dime a dozen

Wishes that never come true
No matter whatever you do
A zillion wishes for a zillion stars
Mine skips Venus lands on Mars
Stars are...no more wishes ...not worth a dime a dozen
