STARDUST
11/6/2
bleonard

Going down to the Stardust Lounge
Where dreams are answered, hope never dies,
Going alone to find a date
Bring with me next time I go there,
Where dreams are found,
And hope lives on.

You, too, can go to the Stardust lounge, take a girl in your arms,
A drink in your hand dance with the hope.
She is the one you find where love is a bourbon,
Returning with your new friend
And lonely is forgotten for
A little while longer.

When you go there you may discover
That gems can be found and mined
For there exists at the Stardust,
Someone who you can take home
To forget lonely
For a little while longer.
