Handful Of Stars Lyrics

Handful Of Stars

A Handful Of Stars
Glenn Miller
Written by Jack Lawrence and Ted
Shapiro.
As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on August 14th 1940 with
Ray Eberle.

I recall the story,
That night of love and glory
A
night that left my heart romantic scars
We stood so near to heaven
That I
reached clear to heaven
And gathered you a handful of stars

Sweet
remembered hour
When love began to flower
With moonlight through the
trees like silver balls
And as the moon grew older
I reached across your
shoulder
And gathered you a handful of stars

I placed my fingertips
upon your lips
And stars fell in your eyes
Moonglow made a halo of your
hair
Suddenly you looked at me and dreams began to rise
Oh, what things
unspoken trembled in the air

Our hearts were madly beating
And then
our lips were meeting
And Venus seemed to melt right into Mars
Then while
we stood caressing
Blue heaven sent a blessing
A shower of a handful of
stars...!
