Lyrics:

[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

[Chorus]
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 heading back
And in that midnight hour I fell in love with you

[Chorus]
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
