[Verse 1]
Susan, you are a jewel
About the rarest I've ever seen
I wish I could polish off
All the edges of my craziest dreams
But you know the way I am
There's nothin' that you can do
If there's anything you don't want me to do
Just go ahead and tell me to
[Chorus]
It must have been one hell of a starry night
The moon was so bright
It must've knocked out all of your lights
I guess that's the night that you fell for my silvery line
[Verse 2]
Everything we do is backwards
You know that ain't a lie
You love, I love, you love
Ah, you know you know I love your beautiful eyes
But I can't pay you back, no
I can't make it up with a song
So I guess I'm here tryin' to tell you that
I missed myself while you were gone
[Chorus]
It must have been one hell of a starry night
Yeah the moon was so bright
It must've knocked out all of your lights
I guess that's the night that you fell for my silvery line
[Verse 3]
Yeah, you always picked the winners
Every Derby race
I guess you just picked on me
For a little bit of change of pace
So go on, shake your hair, let it loose
Run 'til you pass the wind
I'll be runnin' right in front of you
Tryin' to rein myself in
[Chorus]
It must have been one hell of a starry night
The moon was so bright
It must've knocked out all of your lights
I guess that's the night that you fell for my silvery line
[Outro]
Susan, you are a jewel
The rarest I've ever seen
I wish I could polish off
All the edges of my craziest dreams
