Grandpa sold the house because the business failed
He said rock bottom is just solid ground to start again
When life ain't nothing like a fairy tale
We just gotta work and hope and pray and say amen
It's gotta get dark enough
For you to see the stars
Shine like diamonds on black velvet
Love is just a word
Until you felt it even when life falls apart
Strong enough to break your heart
It's gotta get dark enough
For you to see the stars
Verse: 2
Darkness fell on me when I lost my dad
Girl you were the light that got me through
You walked right beside me down that road to hell and back
And in that midnight hour I fell in love with you
It's gotta get dark enough
For you to see the stars
Shine like diamonds on black velvet
Love is just a word
Until you felt it even when life falls apart
Strong enough to break your heart
It's gotta get dark enough
For you to see the stars
Bridge
Staring at the sky tonight
Never felt so alive
Sometimes the lights have to go out
For you to see what life's about
Outro
It's gotta get dark enough
For you to see the stars
Moving like a work of art
Strong enough to break your heart
It's gotta get dark enough
For you to see the stars
For you to see the stars
