Verse: 1 Grandpa sold the house because the business failed He said rock bottom is just solid ground to start again When life ain't nothing like a fairy tale We just gotta work and hope and pray and say amen It's gotta get dark enough For you to see the stars Shine like diamonds on black velvet Love is just a word Until you felt it even when life falls apart Strong enough to break your heart It's gotta get dark enough For you to see the stars Verse: 2 Darkness fell on me when I lost my dad Girl you were the light that got me through You walked right beside me down that road to hell and back And in that midnight hour I fell in love with you It's gotta get dark enough For you to see the stars Shine like diamonds on black velvet Love is just a word Until you felt it even when life falls apart Strong enough to break your heart It's gotta get dark enough For you to see the stars Bridge Staring at the sky tonight Never felt so alive Sometimes the lights have to go out For you to see what life's about Outro It's gotta get dark enough For you to see the stars Moving like a work of art Strong enough to break your heart It's gotta get dark enough For you to see the stars For you to see the stars
