Shake Down the Stars Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

Shakedown the stars, pull down the clouds
Turn off the moon, do it soon
I can′t enjoy this night without you
Shakedown the stars

Dry up the streams
Stop all my dreams
Cut off the breeze, do it, please
I never thought I'd cry about you
Shakedown the stars


I gave you my arms, my lips, my heart
My life, my love, my all
But the best that I had to offer you
I found was all too small

Crush every rose, hush every prayer
Break every vow, do it now
I know I can′t go on without you
Shakedown the stars

But the best that I had to offer you
I found was all too small

Crush every rose, hush every prayer
Break every vow, do it now, do it now
Nighttime will soon appear
Stars shine but you're not here
So please shake down the stars
