lyrics

All The Stars And Amelia
[Churchwell - © Hat's Too Tight Music (ASCAP)]


All the stars and Amelia
Are lined up in my sky,
And they set me a course
When I’m ready to fly.
Come for me in the darkness,
Take me east toward the sun.
And well do I know
I’m the fortunate one.

I remember how early
We stood up and held fast
Against every naysayer
Who darkened our path.
They write rules for the timid.
This was rule number one:
“You never shall do
What you never have done.”

Oooh, but what sort of
Sorry excuse for a life would that be?
Oooh, and how could we live with ourselves
If we couldn’t live free?

Oooh, and what kind of
Empty excuse for a life would that be?
Yeah, ‘cos “better than nothing”
Still means it ain’t all it should be.

We’ve no fear of the future.
Make it up as we go.
And we never say “yes,”
When the answer is “no.”
All the stars and Amelia
Are a luminous sight.
And they show me the way
Both by day and by night.
