Starry Skies Avenue (Extended 2)

Prelude: Female, soft harmony

Distant sirens singing through the mist

Memories of longing, nights we almost missed

Silver moon rising over weathered walls

Holding secret hopes as another midnight falls

Intro: Female, close harmony with Backing Vocals

Late night drifting, city’s humming low

Tired hearts searching, nowhere else to go

Streetcar passing, wheels slow and sweet

Hoping for someone my soul could meet

Intro: Female, close harmony with Backing Vocals

Late night drifting, city’s humming low

Tired hearts searching, nowhere else to go

Streetcar passing, wheels slow and sweet

Hoping for someone my soul could meet

Verse 1: Male & Female, call and response

(Male) Rain on the sidewalk, washing worries away

(Female) Dreamed of loving arms at the end of the day

(Male) Faces come and go in the window’s shine

(Female) But your shadow lingered, along with mine

Chorus: Female & Male, close harmony

You caught my eye across the avenue

Didn’t know my world would change with you

Boy meets girl, the story starts tonight

Two hearts caught under starry skies

Post-Chorus: Female Backing Vocals

Oh oh, under starry skies

Yeah yeah, the story starts tonight

Verse 2: Male

You smiled like the streetlights belonged to you

First words we stumbled, but feelings grew

Something in the laughter made the old streets new

Didn’t think I’d feel this way until I met you

Pre-Chorus: Female

I used to walk these lanes alone

Now every step feels like home

When you reach for my hand I know

This is more than a chance hello

Chorus: Female & Male, close harmony

You caught my eye across the avenue

Didn’t know my world would change with you

Boy meets girl, the story starts tonight

Two hearts caught under starry skies

Post-Chorus: Female Backing Vocals

Oh oh, under starry skies

Yeah yeah, the story starts tonight

Bridge: Female & Male, alternating

(Female)

Sometimes the world moves fast, we both know

Holding onto moments, never letting go

(Male)

Every promise in your eyes shines so real

Tonight I tell you just how I feel

Chorus: Female & Male, close harmony

You caught my eye across the avenue

Didn’t know my world would change with you

Boy meets girl, the story starts tonight

Two hearts caught under starry skies

Outro: Female Backing Vocals, Male ad libs

Oh oh, under starry skies (stay with me)

Yeah yeah, the story starts tonight (never say goodbye)

Oh oh, under starry skies (I’m yours tonight)

Yeah yeah, our story starts tonight

Coda: Female & Male, close harmony

One last promise under fading moonlight

Can we hold this feeling into daylight

Every minute with you, I know it’s true

I’ll keep our love, shining right on through

Ooh ooh, shining right on through

Mmm mmm, I belong with you

Ooh ooh, shining right on through

Mmm mmm, I belong with you

Walking slow as the sunrise finds us

Your hand in mine, and everything’s enough

Promises whispered as dawn breaks new

Loving you, that’s all I want to do

Backing Vocals: Female Group

Stay with me, stay with me

Every morning, every night

Stay with me, stay with me

Love’s a fire burning bright

Outro Reprise: Female & Male, close harmony

One last look in your warm brown eyes

Let tomorrow bring its surprise

If forever starts in moments like these

Let me be the one you need
