Lyrics
Chorus_1
I'm stepping on starlight,
Swinging in a moonlight afterglow.
We say goodbye just after first light
And that's just the way love goes
That's just the way love goes.
Verse_1
Since the age of man began
He's been trying to understand
How the mysteries of love unfold.
Through an alchemy of Arts
And some fabulous false starts
Captured in our poetry and prose.
Chorus_2
I'm stepping on starlight,
Tingling from my head to my toes.
I know I've found my Mrs So Right
And that's just the way love goes,
That's just the way love goes.
Verse_2
Some say that love's a bore,
But there's a danger to ignore
"cause sooner of later you'll be spliced.
In the greater scheme of things
There is always a new spin
From the left of field you're going to be enticed.
Verse_3
You can dream and she may scheme
But there's somewhere in between
Sincerity is softer than a spat.
Love won't last with words alone,
Sometimes she'll want to be shown
It's a dope who keeps it under his hat, (that's a fact Jack!)
Chorus 1 & 2 to end
