[Verse 1]
Well the night goes on forever when you try to make it last
We were pa**ing time together, just laying in the gra**
And we looked up at the heaven, and we saw the worlds collide
We were lying still and watching, they were flying through the sky
[Chorus]
The stars in Oklahoma
Never seen a night so cool and clear
Shootin' stars in Oklahoma
Burn so bright, then they disappear
[Verse 2]
Well the moonlight has a way of throwing shadows on the night
It would be a shame to waste it on a place we had to hide
With the morning glowing bright and shining light upon our faces
We faded with the dawn, and then we went our separate ways
[Chorus]
‘Neath the stars in Oklahoma
Never seen a night so cool and clear
Shootin' stars in Oklahoma
They shine so bright, then they disappear
[Verse 3]
Ah the stars in Oklahoma and the banks in late September
And I lead you through the darkness on a night you won't remember
Is everyone that easy? Do they all just play the fool?
Are they all just out here lookin' for a way to break the rules?
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Well it would take a fool to say it, like a photograph o' grace
Fools need supervision, or a gift for saving face
Yeah, we got it on a handshake, bought it for a song
Yeah, chase a simple feeling for doing something wrong
[Chorus]
‘Neath the stars in Oklahoma
Never seen a night so cool and clear
Shootin' stars in Oklahoma
Shine so bright, then they disappear
Shine so bright, then they disappear
