Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer-songwriter. He began his career as part of London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s and later became associated with the first wave of the British punk/New Wave movement of the mid-to-late 1970s. Steeped in word play, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopaedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image". more »

If you wake and chance to look
Above you
There's one that I named to show how
Much I love you
Hanging up high

Poets long have written and
Have sung
Of moonlight and some
Distant satellite
And when we're young we wish
Upon them

Other men may only dream
To kiss you
But it's not a thrill like this
Put your lips a little closer to my
Cheek then whisper, then speak
So, tell me if you know
How deep can this thing go?

Honey will still desire the flowers
And there will be a love like ours
Until the sky dishonors the stars

What in the world would all this
Amount to?
If I can't tell you how much
I want you
On such a night the sky might
Dishonor the stars
Disown and dishonor the stars

Poets long have written and
Have sung
Of moonlight and some
Distant satellite
And when we're young we wish
Upon them

Other men may only dream
To kiss you
But it's not a thrill like this
Put your lips a little closer to my
Cheek then whisper, then speak
So, tell me if you know
How deep can this thing go?

Honey will still desire the flowers
And there will be a love like ours
Until the sky dishonors the stars

What in the world would all this
Amount to?
If I can't tell you how much
I want you
On such a night the sky might
Dishonor the stars
Disown and dishonor the stars
