Starry Nights

[Verse] When we were little Stars painted the nights Lights go out We'd count 'em Shining oh so bright Mother wake up early Make breakfast for the crew Getting ready for school With love she'd see us through [Verse 2] Father rise in the morning Work hard all day long Coming home tired but still playing Never doing us wrong Grandma and grandpa Telling tales beneath the moon Walks in the garden History they'd share with a tune [Chorus] But now we're grown The stars are outta sight Mother's hair turning gray We make our own sunlight Father's retired Can't take us out to play And the silence at night No more tales in our day [Verse] When we were little Stars painted the nights Lights go out We'd count 'em Shining oh so bright Mother wake up early Make breakfast for us Getting ready for school With love she'd see us through [Verse 2] Father rise in the morning Work hard all day long coming home with a smile never made us feel wrong Grandma and grandpa Telling tales beneath the moon Walks in the garden History they'd share with a tune [Chorus] But now we're grown The stars are no longer in sight Mother's hair turning gray We make our own sunlight Father's retired Can't take us out to play And the silence at night No more tales in our day But now we're grown The stars are no longer in sight Mother's hair turning gray We make our own sunlight Father's retired Can't take us out to play And the silence at night No more tales in our day [End]
