Price hit Nashville in the early 1950s, rooming for a short time with Hank Williams. When Williams died, Price took over Williams' band, the Drifting Cowboys, and had minor success. He was the first artist to have a hit with "Release Me" (1953), a song made famous by Engelbert Humperdinck in 1967. However, Price became one of the stalwarts of the grinding, honky tonk music that became even more popular in the early 1950s with such singers as Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Webb Pierce and others. Price developed the famous "Ray Price Shuffle Beat" that is heard on "Crazy Arms," which served as the beat for many honky-tonk classics since then.

Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes Lyrics

Ray Price

(Slim Willett)
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.
So keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you'll know you're
The only one I'll ever love.
Too many nights, too many stars
Too many moons can 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 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.
So keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you'll know you're
The only one I'll ever love.
--- Imstrumental ---
Too many miles, too many days
Too many nights to be alone
So please keep your heart while we are apart
Don't stand in the moonlight while I'm gone.
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
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.
So keep your heart for me
For someday I'll return
And you'll know you're
The only one I'll ever love...
