Lyrics
There was no mention that stars would shine
Took me by surprise
Nobody told me the wind might blow
Your love into my eyes
And there was no warning that you might be
Standing by the punch
Who knew a dress could sing?
I didn't have a hunch
I was mistaken 'bout my heart
You had it fooled right from the start oh
And all the stars in that whole sky
Couldn't shine their light on me
Not a one could help me see
There was no premonition or danger sign
I was in the dark
No hairs at the back of my neck standing up for me
No dog began to bark
Some yellow tape would have been nice
Some big red truck with some big red flashing lights
Or some deranged individual telling me my end was nigh
I had no idea this pig was going to fly
There was no flashlight silhouetting me
With someone reading me my rights
"Step away from the Woman, it's plain to see
She's had her way with you tonight"
I was mistaken 'bout my heart
You had it fooled right from the start oh
And all the stars in that whole sky
Couldn't shine their light on me
Not a one could help me see
Holy Moley you were the star who dazzled me
