The Love Almost Written in the Stars

An Original Song By: Amy Alls

(Performed at the No Shame Roanoke Season Premiere on September 2, 2005)

If you fall in love with me
You’ll never be the same
And I love you just the way you are today my love
And I hope you’ll never change

If you feel too close to me
I’ll happily step aside
I wouldn’t and I couldn’t stand to lose you now
Or the longing that’s building in your eyes

I’d rather love you from afar
‘Cause I’ll never be quite as good as you are
So you see
It must be
Just the memory
Of the love almost written in the stars

If you try to kiss me tonight
I just might be inclined to respond
But then after all the laughter and the love we share
It’s better if we sever the bond

If you need to hold me some more
I may not ignore your advance
But remember to never fall in love with me
Or you’ll ruin the perfect romance

I’d rather love you from afar
‘Cause I’ll never be quite as good as you are
So you see
To defeat
Certain tragedy
We’ll always have the love
Almost
Written

In the stars!
