you showed me constellations and i cried
now when i see the big dipper, my eyes start to sting again

who knew the little one was so small ?
i'm glad it made you laugh to see me so happy

thank god your astronomy teacher taught you about shapes in the sky
so you could make a girl cry chilly, 40 degree tears

maybe it was the vastness of space
or the tiny specks of light, something astral

the significance of opening my eyes to a huge sight like that
or the way you pointed into the sky and found them, easy

i think of your smile when i see the stars
