[Verse]
The glowing Rincón moon glazed the Caribbean waves
Crashed  upon the coast in such a peaceful way

[Pre-Chorus]
Standing  on the beach with a cigarette
Putting down a Coors Light before bed
And all your girls as happy as you’ve ever seen them

[Chorus]
Do  you really have to leave?
One  goodbye is all I need
If I bargain with the universe
Could  I have a star to keep?
Do you really have to leave?

[Verse 2]
The central Florida sunlight was, for once, not so bad
With arms locked together til the oak at the end

[Pre-Chorus]
After  all the guests watched the first dance
You took the floor and you held out your hand
And all your girls as happy as you’ve ever seen them

[Chorus]
Do you really have to leave?
One goodbye is all I need
If I bargain with the universe
Could I have a star to keep?

Do you really have to leave?
I need more than memories
Are you floating through the mystery?
Or are you in the room with me?
Do you really have to?

Do you really have to...

[Bridge]
Swim out towards the light?
Now you can reach the sunrise
You're that star up in the sky
I see every night

[Chorus]
Do you really have to leave?
One goodbye is all I need
If I bargain with the universe
Could I have a star to keep?

Do you really have to leave?
I need more than memories
Are you floating through the atmosphere?
Or are you in the car with me?
Do you really have to leave?

[Outro]
You were smoking one last cigarette
Putting down a Coors Light before bed
And all your girls as happy as you’ve ever seen them
