1. A bang then stardust in your eyes,
a billion years for just this night;
in a way it will be alright
A blackness then the light of a million stars,
as you slip into in my car;
the evening sky strikes sparks
R: This life, this life and then the next,
with you I have been blessed
What more can you expect?
2. At night at my telescope alone,
this emptiness I've roamed;
searching for a home
The stars, a brief string of shining charms,
rushing in right out of our arms;
into the drifting dark
R: This life, this life and then the next...
R1: This life, this life and then the next,
I finger the hem of your dress
My universe at rest
3. We reach for starlight all night long,
but gravity is too strong;
chained to this earth we go on and on and on and on and on
Then a million sighs cresting were you stood,
a beauty in the neighborhood;
this lonely planet never looked so good
R: This life, this life and then the next...
R1: This life, this life and then the next...
