D5 The weather man said there was a pretty good chance G5 Of a big one coming that night D5 Everybody in town was locking it down G5 Closing shutters and finding flash lights D5 Oh but daddy's intuition is sharper then a knife G5 Said the rain don't come til the robin takes flight A5 And he smiled like he always does We stayed out until the sun came up Chorus D5 And we counted our blessings one by one G5 And the wind and the thunder never did come A5 We just sat there talking, laughing like fools Nobody watching but the man in the moon D5 And the whole world slept that perfect night G5 I learned a little bout living and a lot about life A5 Out there in the backyard B5 A5 D5 Just me and him and 538 stars D5 Some shimmered and shined like big diamond rings G5 Some sank into the milky way D5 He told me about the one who led the three kings G5 To the stable on Christmas Day D5 He always made it easy for me to understand G5 Said we're all a part of a much bigger plan A5 And he smiled like he always does We stayed out until the sun came up Chorus D5 And we counted our blessings one by one G5 And the wind and the thunder never did come A5 We just sat there talking, laughing like fools Nobody watching but the man in the moon D5 And the whole world slept that perfect night G5 I learned a little bout living and a lot about life A5 Out there in the backyard B5 A5 D5 Just me and him and 538 stars Bridge B5 We watched the world G5 Just the two of us B5 Like it always is G5 Like it always was Chorus D5 And we counted our blessings one by one G5 And the wind and the thunder never did come A5 We just sat there talking, laughing like fools Nobody watching but the man in the moon D5 And the whole world slept that perfect night G5 I learned a little bout living and a lot about life A5 Out there in the backyard B5 A5 D5 Just me and him and 538 stars B5 A5 D5 Just me and dad and 538 stars
