Blow Out The Stars, Turn Off The Moon - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Here on the hilltop where we fell in love

Many moons later, now we’re giving up

I start the engine, you start to cry

It’s a beautiful memory but a sad sad goodbye.

How many times have we wished on a star,

Wrapped up in a quilt on the hood of my car

We saw halley’s comet in lunar eclipse

And I sure saw heaven when I tasted your lips.

So blow out the stars, turn off the moon

Fade out the crickets and the nightingale’s tune

Take down the magnolias that ride the soft wind

Another love story has come to an end

When our love was new as the first evening star

We both said I’ll worship you just as you are

Then I tried to change you, girl, and I don’t know why

You tried to change me, hey we might as well try.

To blow out the stars, turn off the moon

Fade out the crickets and the nightingale’s tune

Take down the magnolias that ride the soft wind

Another love story has come to an end.

Take down the magnolias that ride the soft wind

Another love story has come to an end
