When the Stars Are Out
The Perfect Measure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're what I call beautiful
You're what I call wonderful
You're the kind that any guy like me would ever want
You're what I call everything
You're what I call everything to me
You're the kind that lights up a room with your smile
Won't you light up this room with your smile
And when the stars are out and oh so bright
I hope you think of me
Please let me be your light
I'll never let you go
I'd never let you go at all
And when the moon is up giving its dim light
I'd like to hold you close and gaze upon the sky
And we could hope that a night like this would never end
Would never end
Would never end
You're the one with the eyes that take my breath away
You're the one who is absolutely amazing in every way
And when the stars are out and oh so bright
I hope you think of me
Please let me be your light
I'll never let you go
I'd never let you go at all
And when the moon is up giving its dim light
I'd like to hold you close and gaze upon the sky
And we could hope that a night like this would never end
Would never end
Would never end
A night like this could go on forever
A night like this could go on forever
A night like this could go on forever
A night like this
A night like this could go on forever
A night like this could go on forever
A night like this could go on forever
A night like this
And when the stars are out and oh so bright
I hope you think of me
Please let me be your light
I'll never let you go
I'd never let you go at all
And when the moon is up giving its dim light
I'd like to hold you close and gaze upon the sky




And we could hope that a night like this would never end
Would never end
