[Verse 1]

Starlight ain't the daylight

But it will just have to do

Starlight will be the only light

When I can tell my heart to you

[Chorus 1]

Oh, daylight, when I see you on the street again

We'll talk a while as if we're only friends

And starlight will be the only light

When I can hold you tight again

[Verse 2]

Oh starlight that I wish upon tonight

That all my dreams might come true

Star on high, why can't you hear my plight

And send me a love 'neath skies of blue?

[Chorus 2]

Oh daylight, just another time to hide away

And dream about the way it might have been

And starlight will be the only light

When I can hold you tight again

Oh, that's when I can hold you tight again

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]

Starlight ain't the daylight

But it will just have to do

Starlight will be the only light

When I can tell my heart to you

[Chorus 1]

Oh, daylight, when I see you on the street again

We'll talk a while as if we're only friends

And starlight will be the only light

When I can hold you tight again

Oh, that's when I can hold you tight again
