Let's count the stars, one by one.
It's nice to waste time every once in a while
Because nothing really matters in the long run.

When it comes to best friends, you can't be outdone.
It's nice to see you truly smile.
Let's count the stars one by one.

Let's lay in the grass and set the sun.
We'll use all our strength to pull it down, mile by mile.
Because nothing really matters in the long run.

We'll relax, just have some fun.
Who cares if it's no longer in style?
Let's count the stars one by one.

Can you hold my hand? It weighs a ton.
Feelings for eachother begin to compile.
Because nothing really matters in the long run.

Let's take a chance, time's a loaded gun.
We can put our feelings on trial.
Let's count the stars, one by one.
Because nothing really matters in the long run.
My attempt at a Villanelle.
