Elvis Costello - For The Stars Lyrics
The stars were so much brighter then,
They dim and die,
So why pretend
The sky goes on forever:
But if they fade as science teaches,
Waste paper, ink and feather.
If I'd taken up the trumpet
As I should have done,
Then I wouldn't be
Always losing sleep,
While I'm trying to make this rhyme.
For the stars
Were so much,
If I couldn't put a price on your head,
What's the use of me trying
For the stars?
The morning comes, the days are
Just the time between
Until the dusk,
When we can be together,
If I'd taken up the drums
And I could play in time,
If I had the power,
Would I be wond'ring how,
I'm ever going to write this down.
For the stars
Were so much,
They were so much brighter then.
If I couldn't put a price on your head,
Then what's the use of me trying
For the stars?

Elvis Costello For The Stars Comments
I love this album. Very interesting to hear a world-renowned opera singer, ugh, struggle a bit singing pop. I guess she had to learn a completely new technique.
zumindest werden Sie immer besser
Das war bestimmt live.
Sofie - you were born to rock you'll never be an opera star. Neil Young was right on the first one but wrong on the other. One of Elvis' best!
She was a opera star and still is.
She sings chanson too.
Be informed before you make a ridiculous comment. She was and is still one of the finest Mezzo-Sopranos we have had in along time, and still very much in demand by the world's best opera houses.
What a stupid and uninformed comment. Anne Sofie von Otter is one of the greatest operatic mezzo-sopranos in the world. Do your research before you make such ludicrous comments.
Truly a great album.
meravigliosi........
Nice team.
