Story Behind The Song
My boyfriend was being a dork, I wanted him to cheer up.
Song Description
A feel good groove asking my lover where has his smile gone?
How he used to eat a bowl full of stars every day...Where did he go? I want him back! His smile's as flat as a paper sack.

Lyrics
I poured some stars in your cereal
You ate half a bowl and said you were full
Oh, honey, where's your appetite
You used to eat a bowl every night
Oh...doot doot do do doot do do dee do ee-ooh
Doot doot doo do do
Lassoed the moon and laid it at your feet
But when I left you kicked it out on the street
The neighbors heard it cryin', took it in
Now I'm not sure the moon will trust you again
Oh, the world can oppress you or it can caress you
But don't be swayed by its course
A smile's a moon beam, a happy daydream
Pouring straight from the source
Where did you go?...I want you back
Your smile's as flat as a paper sack
Oh, let me pour your favorite cereal
And hang the moon to light your meal
Your heart was open twenty-four hours
Your love was my chosen sunflower
Weren't you the one who said a smile's just a frown
That we've turned upside down
Where did you go?...I want you back
Your smile's as flat as a paper sack
Oh, let me pour your favorite cereal
And hang the moon to light your meal
