CORRIGER LES PAROLES
Paroles : Stars (Live)
I was never one for singing
What I really feel
Except tonight, I'm bringing
Everything I know that's real
Stars, they come and go
They come fast or slow
They go like the last light of the sun
All in a blaze
And all you see is glory
Hey, but it gets lonely there
When there's no one here to share
We can shake it away
If you'll hear a story
People lust for fame
Like athletes in a game
We break our collarbones
And come up swinging
And somе of us are crowned
And some of us arе downed
And some are lost and never found
But most have seen it all
They live their lives
In sad cafés and music halls
They always come up singing
Some make it when they're young
Before the world has done its dirty job
And later on, someone will say
"You've had your day
You must make way"
But they'll never know the pain
Of living with a name you never owned
Or the many years forgetting what you know too well
That the ones who gave the crown
Have been let down
You try to make amends
Without defending
Perhaps pretending
You never saw the eyes
Of grown men of twenty-five
How they followed as you walked
And asked for autographs
Or kissed you on the cheek
And you never could believe
They really loved you
Some make it when they're old
Perhaps they have a soul
They're not afraid to bare
Or perhaps there's nothing there
Stars, they come and go
They come fast, they come slow
They go like the last light of the sun
All in a blaze
And all you see is glory
But most have seen it all
They live their lives
In sad cafés and music halls
They always have a story
Now some women have a body
Men will want to see
So they put it on display
And some people play a fine guitar
I could listen to them play all day
Some ladies really move across a stage
And gee, they sure can dance
Well I guess I could learn how
If I gave it half a chance
But I always feel so funny
When my body tries to soar
And I always seem to worry
About missing the next chord
So I guess there isn't anything
To put out on display
Except the tunes
Whatever else I say
And anyway, that isn't really
What I meant to say
I meant to tell a story
I live from day to day
Stars, they come and go
They come fast, they come slow
And they go like the last light of the sun
All in a blaze
And all you see is glory
But those have seen it all
Live out their lives
In sad cafés and music halls
We always have a story
So if you don't lose patience
With my fumbling around
I'll come up singing for you
Even when I'm down
Thank you. Thanks for coming back.
