歌词
Stars they come and go they come fast they come slow
那些星星来来往往，时而快，时而慢
They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze
他们离开的时候就像太阳的最后一缕燃烧的光芒
And all you see is glory
留给人们的总是闪耀的一面

That followed as you walk and asked for autographs

Or kissed you on the cheek and you never can believe they really loved you
