Pretending that he's tough,
He doesn't feel so much
Pretending that his heart is not as big
As that satellite
At night when we're in bed
The tree becomes an arm,
Lifting his sleeping body to the stars
Above the ocean in his mind
"Don't say goodnight"
I tell my twinkle in the sky
"I haven't had enough
Enough of you and I"
Pretending's not so hard
To watch it all go by
Pretending that his heart is not as big
As that satellite
Pretending that his heart
Is not as big as that satellite
"Don't say goodnight"
I tell my twinkle in the sky
"I haven't had enough
Enough of you and I
When morning comes
And combs the dreams out of your hair,
I promise to be there. I'll still be there.
I see you standing in the shadows
I see you standing in the rain
I feel you picking up your pieces,
Getting them together,
Trying to glue them back
If I could just for you
Silence the silence
If I could just for you
You know I would
When you don't like the night
It doesn't like you back
But hey, I'm on your side
Pretending that he's tough,
He doesn't feel so much
Pretending that his heart is not as big
As that satellite
Pretending, but his heart's so big
It has its own
Satellite
