Story Behind The Song
An asterisk is a ref'rence mark
That indicates an omitted word
That is how I feel when you are near
Tell me isn't that absurd?
A tiny star called an asterisk
Would indicate this.
And not a heart with an arrow through
But a star of silence...
Song Description
Punctuation intrigues me. A little star requiring attention (mostly when ancient Greeks wanted to edit a mistake in their manuscripts) seemed worthy of a song.

Lyrics
An asterisk is a ref'rence mark
That indicates an omitted word
That is how I feel when you are near
Tell me isn't that absurd?
{Refrain}
A tiny star called an asterisk
Would indicate this.
And not a heart with an arrow through
But a star of silence...
When I think of you my mind is filled,
Marking footprints to my heart.
My voice is stilled and I'm forced to use
That ol' tiny asterisk mark.
{Refrain}
A tiny star called an asterisk
Would indicate this.
And not a heart with an arrow through
But a star of silence...
I hope this makes sense in some way
Because I can't express
My love for you just has no words
So I'm left with the asterisk...
A tiny star called an asterisk
Would indicate this.
And not a heart with an arrow through
But a star of silence...
