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
