So Many Stars
Lyrics & Music by: Carly Simon
Maybe I didn´t love you
As I turn onto Union Square
Maybe I didn´t love you
As I slip my token into the turnstile
Maybe I only need to think about the past
You can understand
As I wedge myself between two boom-box boys
On the A train
Maybe I don´t love you now
As I check out a brand new stove
Walking by a kitchen-wares store on Lex
Maybe I just needed to love
Anyone at all
Maybe I won´t ever love you again
As I walk into Manny´s for some strings
Maybe we won´t ever be friends
Could I have needed to love the dark
As I try to avoid a jakey on Broome
Could I have conjured you
On imaginary avenues
Well maybe I need to merge with the all
As I stare at the sunset over the Hudson
And there you´d become one of
So many stars
What if I couldn´t tell you apart
What if I couldn´t pick out your face
What if I didn´t love you
Didn´t love you
There are so many stars
What if I couldn´t pick out your face
Or find your hands
There are so many stars
What if I didn´t love you
But what if I do
How will I know
What will you do
When I find you
There are so many stars
What if you´re out there
And I just didn´t see you
I could lose you just like that
Maybe forever
There are so many stars
So many stars
There are so many stars
There are so many stars
