I found A Thousand Stars at Max’s blog – PowerPop. I would encourage you to read his article in the link below:
I don’t know how many people know this song but it took me twenty years to find it. I heard it in 1986 on an oldies station. I just caught the middle to the end and it intrigued me. It was haunting to me at the time the few times I heard it.
Every time they would play it (and it wasn’t much) I wouldn’t catch who it was…it never dawned on me to call the station and ask. It took me till around 2008 to remember enough of the song to track it down…
Kathy Young was only 15 years old in 1960 when this song hit. It (A Thousand Stars) peaked at No. 3 in the Billboard 100. This was their one and only top ten hit. It was written by Eugene Pearson.
Kathy Young made a return to music in the mid-1990s and has since then continued to perform to the present day.

A Thousand Stars
A thousand stars in the sky like the stars in your eyes
They say to me that there’ll never be
No other love like you-oo for me-e-e
A thousand stars in the sky make me realize
You are the one love that I‘ll adore
Tell me you love me
Tell me you’re mine once more (once more, once mo-o-ore)
Each night I count the stars in the sky
Hoping that you aren’t telling me lies
you’re with me tonight, I’m captured by your charms
Oh, pretty baby, won’t you hold me in your arms?
A thousand stars in the sky make me realize
You are the one love that I‘ll adore
Tell me you love me
Tell me you’re mine once more (once more, once mo-o-ore)
Each night I count the stars in the sky
Hoping that you aren’t telling me lies
you’re with me tonight, I’m captured by your charms
Oh, pretty baby, won’t you hold me in your arms?
A thousand stars in the sky make me realize
You are the one love that I‘ll adore
Tell me you love me
Tell me you’re mine once mo-o-re (I-I-I’m yours)

Something about this song is haunting to me…it took me a while to find it. Thanks for the link Matt!
I see what you mean based on what you wrote about it…. No, thank you Max!
You going to see the new Scorsese film? I will today or tomorrow.
I want to…Bailey saw it and loved it
Sweet. I’m going to see it at 5pm today yay.
Cool. Love her voice…
Yeh, everything about this is hip
Music from that Era gets me going…I was very young lol
As an adult, it’s nice feeling young too. Music like this helps a lot. Been playing a lot of Buddy ‘s music with my kids of late. That keeps me in fine form. hehe
Yeah it is soothing to hear. I had fewer problems when I was young lol
Until giving up the sauce, I’m starting to think I had bigger problems as a youngster compared to now. I feel more in control and free than at any other time in my life. I’m very grateful and feel undeserving.
It’s like our problems as children were so intense. As an adult I can handle things better. Matt, you are deserving. You are working on problems. Taking a stand! That is very hard. I commend you…
I agree… As children, our problems seemed nearly overwhelming.
There is a lot of pressure put on kids in modern society especially regarding school and grades.
My honeymoon sobriety period is definitely over. I expected people (women esp) would flock and I would become a creative genius and get lots of things done. And my psychological shortcomings would all but disappear. Talk about nonsensical self grandiosity haha
Perfectly described Matt. I’m glad I’m not a child growing up. The honeymoon period is crazy after it’s gone. I am like you I had unrealistic visions of how it would be. I would do this and that. Problems will dissappear lol. I would finally be happy. Well, the real world appeared and things were the same. But I am sober and that is good. It’s a crazy thing…..
That’s it. I thought everyday problems would be swept under the carpet. But things returned to the same or even worse. I started to see things for how they really are and it wasn’t pretty. I realised the whole life I found myself leading was built upon lies caused by the duress and fogginess (beer goggles, if you like) of drunken stupors. That’s a hard thing to back-pedal. lol Today has not been a good day, Tom. I’ll leave it at that. Stay sober friend.
Sorry to hear about bad day Matt. I am very guilty of ignoring and pretending. Sometimes it’s easier, but I know I’m just running from facts. I guess drinking makes it easier to forget. I hope you’re day got better. It’s a struggle for sure.
I remember soon after I went cold turkey on Sept 12, you were saying that for you – coping with and managing personal relationships seemed to be your biggest challenge. Now I understand why you said that since, that ended being what made me shat the bed.
It’s always a struggle. It still is. Maybe a little easier sober? Not sure. Matt I swear life is fantastic and dreadful all at once. If we hang in there we just might make it!
JB Peterson was right: ‘Life is suffering’. If we are not paying attention and aiming at the greatest good 24-7, then anything can and will happen.
I hope you are right.
I believe that is true. Maybe that is why when it’s good, it’s very good. Just seems like more suffering than good. I still believe. It gets hard sometimes though.
That’s it – when it’s good, it’s very good. The honeymoon period can be deceiving as you alluded to. And when the crash comes, you can find yourself in no-man’s land. It’s the equilibrium which I was unable to attain. I tried to do too much at once and I fell down as a consequence.
Exactly. I get to high and to low. Trying to find the middle….
