Is it asking too much to be given time
To know these songs and to sing them
Is it asking too much of my vacant smile
And my laugh and lies that bring them

As the stars are going out
And this stage is full of nothing
And the friends have all but gone
For my life my god I'm singing

We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out...

Is it asking too much of my favorite friends
To take this song for real
Is it asking too much of my partner's hands
To take tnis song for real

Is it asking too much
Is it asking too much
