We came from miles around
  just to listen to your sound
  you made the night seem endless
  you cast a magic spell
  you played the part so well
  your music blew away the darkness
  
  we loved you for better
  we loved you for worse
  but we never took you for granted
  your lives were a blessing
  but they carried a curse
  the night that the stars didn't show
  
  you made me stand so proud
  i was lifted from the crowd
  the fire inside me burning
  the figure dressed in black
  sending shivers down my back
  deep inside my soul was stirring
  
  we loved you for better
  we loved you for worse
  the sweet inspiration that you gave us
  and i can remember we didn't rehearse
  the night that the stars didn't show
  
  mountains may crumble
  and worlds fall apart
  lovers and friends may desert me
  the road may be long
  but i know in my heart
  your spirit will always be with me
  
  the thrill to be up there
  a sea of faces everywhere
  i look i find you
  
  we loved you for better
  we loved you for worse
  but we never took you for granted
  your lives were a blessing
  but they carried a curse
  the night that the stars didn't show
  
  we loved you for better
  we loved you for worse
  the sweet inspiration that you gave us
  and i can remember we didn't rehearse
  the night that the stars didn't show
