Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes Song Lyrics
This song plays while Lucy is interviewing to be part of the marriage trade with Vault 32.
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't keep your heart from me, for someday I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
Too many nights (Too many nights)
Too many stars (Too many stars)
Too many moons could change your mind
(Don't let the moon change your mind)
If I'm gone too long, don't forget where you belong
When the stars come out, remember you are mine
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't keep your heart from me, for someday I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
(Don't let the stars get in your eyes)
(Don't let the moon break your heart )
Too many miles (Too many miles)
Too many days (Too many days)
Too many nights to be alone (Too many nights all alone)
Oh, please keep your heart, while we are apart
Don't you linger in the moonlight when I'm gone (While I'm gone)
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
(Don't let the moon break your heart)
Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't keep your heart from me, for someday I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
(I'll ever love) I'll ever love
You're the only one (You're the only one) I'll ever love

Annotations and Meaning:
The lyrics for "Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes" warn against leaving fidelity and trust in a relationship, even if only physically, and letting the many temptations it may evoke prevail. Crooner Perry Como has a crooning voice that could extract the romantic yet reticent mood found in the lyrics of this song, written by Slim Willet.
The phrase, "Don't let the stars get in your eyes," is figurative and advises one not to be charmed or led in any direction by romantic thoughts or by any romantic pursuits that might make the love for that one who's away grow less. Don't let that romantic, starry night sky fool you into not remembering your commitments.
This suggests that love could be very brittle and needs to be nurtured, especially when trying distance and time. The image of blooming at night and dying by day reflects the imagination of love to have its moments of strength and vulnerability while it needs constancy.
The repetition of "too many" in phrases like "Too many nights," "Too many stars," and "Too many moons could change your mind" lets us understand the fact that it is not possible to be away for a long time. Concerning this, loneliness or lapses in time might weaken the link. The phrase "moons could change your mind" underlines the celestial motive to distract or change the feelings.
The song ends with a plea for emotional infidelity, "Oh, please keep your heart while we are apart." The singer is requesting his loved one not to succumb to any temptations that come his way as he is away and to remember the love they share; hence, trust and devotion amidst trials.
Thematic Interpretation:
In a word, "Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes" concerns itself with such basic human emotions and concerns as trust, fidelity, and the fear of being forgotten. The celestial imagery in the song brings not just the poetic aspects but also symbolizes how significant and, at times, oppressive the challenges are. With the smooth vocals of Perry Como and the lovely accompaniment, the sentimentalist message of the song hopefully hits home for many: it is timeless and touches the very soul of people facing this very same emotional dilemma in their relationships.
