Stars Don't Shine Lyrics

I'll cry myself to sleep 'cos you're not here by my side
I'll cry 'cos you're not with me, with me tonight
I'll cry myself a river and drown in a torrent of tears
I'll cry 'cos the stars have thrown down all their spears
the stars don't shine without you
and it makes me, makes me sad and blue
the stars don't shine without you
and there's nothing, no nothing I can do
I'll cry myself an ocean and I'm stranded
washed upon the shore
I'll cry 'cos the stars don't shine for me no more.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
