We Let The Stars Go

There was a girl I used to know
She'd tease me about my name
Fan the embers long enough
I sometimes catch her flame
The soothing voice of distance tells me
"That was just a fling"
Other music fills my ears but I still hear her singShe sings
"Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe
Don't you remember me?"
Long ago one gorgeous night
We let the stars go
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe
Don't you remember me?
Long ago one gorgeous night
We let the stars go freeThere was a boy I used to be
I guess that he was cold
If she came to buy him now
How cheaply he'd be sold
But the light is gone and it is dark
What used to be the sky
Is suddenly embarrassing
To the naked eyeYou see
Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe
Can't face this memory
Long ago one gorgeous night
We let the stars go
Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe
Can't face this memory
Long ago one gorgeous night
We let the stars go
Long ago one gorgeous night
We let the stars go
Long ago one stupid night
We let the stars go free
