Lyrics

Danc in’ when the stars go blue.

Danc in’ when the eve ning fell.

Danc in’ in your wood en shoes

in a wed (Cm7)ding gown.

Danc in’ out on Sev enth Street.

Danc in’ through the un der ground.

Danc in’ with the (Eb)mar i o nette,

are you hap (Cm7)py now?

Where do you go when you’re lone ly,

where do you go when you’re blue?

Where do you go when you’re lone ly?

I’ll fol low you

when the stars go (Bb)blue,

stars go (Bb)blue,

stars go (Bb)blue,

stars (Bb)go (Eb5)blue.

Laugh in’ with your pret ty mouth.

Laugh in’ with your bro ken eyes.

Laugh in’ with your (Eb)lov er’s o tongue

in a lull (Cm7)a by.

Where do you go when you’re lone ly,

where do you go when you’re blue?

Where do you go when you’re lone ly?

I’ll fol low you

when the stars go (Bb)blue,

stars go (Bb)blue,

stars go (Bb)blue,

stars (Bb)go (Eb5)blue.
