When I was just a girl
I learned about the stars
The pictures in the frames
You could make when you trace em'
And each and every night,
I went into the yard
I sought to find them all
I didn't want to waste them.
But now that I've grown,
I see them less and less,
The city lights outshine their humble home
From my other place,
All the pictures in the frames,
Remind me of the ones I used to know
Where New Constellations, New Constellations
Any New Constellations, New Constellations
Here up among the clouds
We soar into the night
We marvel at the view
As we are higher and higher
And everything below
Is such a pretty sight
The earth is all a glow
And every city's on fire
The biggest one of all
Is coming into view
Where building tops and street lights have no light
And turn this plane around
Is all I wanna do
Return into the place where I will find
Any New Constellations, new Constellations
Any New Constellations, New Constellations
Hello Tokyo, goodbye Leo the Lion
Hello Istanbul, goodbye Belt of Orion
Farewell Hercules, hello Mexico City
Bye bye Gemini, hello Melbourne and Sydney
Hey hey Singapore, farewell Cassiopeia
Lights out Milky Way, hello Bangalore India,
Any New Constellations, New Constellations
New Constellations, New Constellations
