If the stars aren't out tonight
I'd stare at your face
I'll find my place
All the riches the world could give
What a smile from you would do
They can't replace

But I can't seem to think of what to do
To get to you

Should I make a pencil sketch of your face so I cannot forget it?
But the colors are all wrong
Black and white don't fit you
I'll start again

Now is it smart if I avoid you?
Because I don't want to fall for you
I'll forget your name
But I can't help myself
The truth is I'm drawn to you
Like a moth to the flame

And I'll find my way to you if it kills me
But I don't know what to say

Can you meet me on a Valentine's Day?
I'd write you a sestina
I would give it all I could and my heart along with that
If all else fails

I heard that you were leaving town and this time it's for good
But what makes it good?

Will you stay if I asked you not to go?
Oh, what am I to do?
But either way I'm still just a hopeless boy
With this song for you
And I know I'm not one to hold you back
So fade into the blue and out of my life

Butterfly, fly away
And leave me here with nothing
But these memories of you
They're enough to hold on to
'Cause I know one day you'll be back
And I will love you with a heart that's big enough for both of us
But for now you're just the girl that I can't live
With or without
