When I woke this morning
Had a lot on my mind
They say that dreamers got too much time
But counting stars
Well that...
Takes time

Yesterday I saw the priest
He was calling out to me
And he said son, where have you been?
When he knows I don’t believe
Won’t be coming in

Tomorrow I don’t know what
And I don’t really care to know
As long as, as long as I get by
You do your best and you...
Get by

Had a dream last night
And I don’t know why
I was counting stars, counting all the stars
All the stars in the sky

When I woke this morning
Had a lot on my mind
They say that dreamers got too much time
But counting stars
Well that...
Takes time
