Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You said It's getting late Coffee's cold But your hand's warm in mine That porch light flickers faint But your eyes burn clearer than the sky You laughed Said make a wish On the one that hasn't fallen yet I said Why wish at all When I can make a promise instead [Chorus] I would steal you the stars from the night Fold them up Hide them under your eyes Every shimmer Every spark Pinned like flowers on your dark hair If the heavens ask where they are I'll say they're safer in your arms I would steal you the stars from the night Just to see you shine [Verse 2] You trace the constellations On my arm like they're a secret map Say Tell me where we're going I say Anywhere you wanna land We'll outrun every sunrise Lock the moon outside your bedroom door Turn this tiny Creaking house To a whole wide universe of ours [Chorus] I would steal you the stars from the night Fold them up Hide them under your eyes Every shimmer Every spark Pinned like flowers on your dark hair If the heavens ask where they are I'll say they're safer in your arms I would steal you the stars from the night Just to see you shine [Bridge] And if the dark comes closer (oh) If the power lines all go quiet I'll light your name in silver One small sky at a time So when you feel forgotten Like the world turned out the lights Look up Love They're all yours Every stolen little bright [Chorus] I would steal you the stars from the night Fold them up Hide them under your eyes Every shimmer Every spark Pinned like flowers on your dark hair If the heavens ask where they are I'll say they're safer in your arms I would steal you the stars from the night Just to see you shine (shine) I would steal you the stars from the night Till the end of time
