Benny Goodman › Lyrics › Shake Down the Stars

Shake down the stars, pull down the clouds
Turn off the moon, do it soon
I can't enjoy this night without you

Shake down the stars

Dry up the streams, stop all my dreams
Cut off the breeze, do it please
I never thought I'd cry about you

Shake down the stars

I gave you my arms, my lips, my heart, my love, my life, my all
But the best that I had to offer you
I found was all too small

Crush every rose, hush every prayer
Break every vow, do it now
I know I cannot live without you

Shake down the stars
