The Stars Move In Slow Motion

The stars move in slow motion,
not wanting to make mistakes.
The eyes of those who've lost love,
vow to do all that it takes.

The night is full of their dreams,
lasting until morning light.
Then the cold reality,
becomes like a cobras bite.

But such is the way of life,
there's no easy way to go.
It's but the wink of an eye,
You'll be gone before you know.

So eat, drink, and be merry,
there's no other way to be.
Though your day may be rainy,
the light of love sets you free.
