Janis Ian
Evening Star
[Intro]
All our good times have been had
And there’s nothing more to be said
I don’t like being trite
But I love you, I love you

[Chorus 1]
When my evening star comes around again
You won’t find me sitting where I was when you first came

[Chorus 2]
When my evening star tells me it’s time for a change
The words may change, and the song may change
And love will be the same

[Post-Chorus 1]
And grow tired burning
Tomorrow’s fires in yesterday flame

[Refrain]
Good times, bad times
Think of all our good times
Measured with the bad times

[Chorus 3]
When my evening star comes around to say
Once upon you had someone, gone now
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
The light goes out and the stage is set
Stand by me anyway

[Post-Chorus 2]
I need a lover who
Won’t want to bother with yesterday flame

[Refrain]
Good time, bad time
Think of all our good time
Measured with the bad time

[Outro]
All our good times have been had
And there’s nothin’ more to be said
I don’t like being trite
But I loved you and I love you
Yes I do, I loved you, and I love you
