Lyrics

He's a little too short
A little too round
His face is lookin' tired these days
His hair is fallin' out
He's been livin' alone
For way too long
He sits at home beside himself
And wonders what went wrong

But sometimes he looks up to the stars
And wonders if he'll ever find the love he's been looking for
But lately he feels so far gone
When he thinks about his life and what he's been living for

She's a little too tall
And way too thin
She's got knobby knees
And a crooked little grin
She lives alone
Just her and the cat
She thinks a lot about God these days
And wonders where he's at

But sometimes she looks up to the stars
And wonders if she's ever find the love she's been hoping for
But these days she feels so alone
When she's thinks of all the years
She's been living on her own
And so it goes

Side by side
And hand in hand
She looks down into his loving eyes
And knows she's found her man
He's staring up at her like she saved his life
He slips the ring onto her hand
And kisses his new wife

Each night they turn the lights down low
And dancing in each others arms they hold each other close
And sometimes they look up to the stars
And realize they finally found the love they'd been dying for
And so it goes
