Here's the original--watch for the parody that follows.

DON'T LET THE STARS GET IN YOUR EYES
(Words and Music by Slim Willet, Cactus Pryor, and Barbara Trammel)
Artist: Perry Como (peak Billboard position # 1 in 1952-53)

CHORUS: Don't let the stars get in your eyes.
Don't let the moon break your heart.
Love blooms at night. In daylight it dies.
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Or keep your heart from me,
For some day I'll return,
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love.

Too many nights (too many nights)
Too many stars (too many stars)
Too many moons to change your mind (don't let the moon change your mind)
If I'm gone too long, don't forget where you belong.
When the stars come out, remember you are mine.

CHORUS

Too many miles (too many miles)
Too many days (too many days)
Too many nights to be alone (too many nights all alone)
Oh, please keep your heart while we are apart.
Don't you linger in the moonlight when I'm gone.

Don't let the stars get in your eyes.
Don't let the moon break your heart. (Don't let the moon break your heart.)
Love blooms at night. In daylight it dies.
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Or keep your heart from me
For some day I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love,
(I'll ever love)
I'll ever love.

You're the only one (You're the only one)
I'll ever love.

[Recorded by Perry Como, Johnny Cash, George Jones, Dean Martin, Ray Price, and many others.]
