F5      A5       G5
Little children snuggle,
F5     G5          A5
under soft black stars
F5          A5     G5
And if you look into their eyes,
F5    G5     A5
soft black stars

C5                     A5
Deliver them from the book,
        F5              G5           
and the letter and the word
    F5        A5       G5
And let them read the silence,
F5         G5          A5
bathed in soft black stars

F5        A5        G5
Let them trace the raindrops,
F5     G5          A5
under soft black stars
F5        A5     G5
Let them follow whispers,
F5          G5       A5
and scare away the night

C5                         A5
Let them kiss the feather breath,
   F5          G5 
of soft black stars
F5            A5         G5
And let them ride their horses,
F5             G5            A5
licked by the wind and the snow

    F5         A5 G5
And tip-toe into twilight,
F5        G5                A5
where we all one day will go
  F5           A5    G5
Caressed with tenderness,
F5           G5       A5
and with no fear at all

      C5                   A5
Their faces shining river gold,
          F5          G5 
washed by soft black stars
F5                       A5           G5
And angels' wings shall soothe their cares,
F5           G5                   A5
and all the birds shall sing at dawn,
F5    A5     G5
blessed and wet with joy

C5              A5
You and I will meet one day,
          F5     G5 
under the night sky,
F5      G5          A5
lit by soft black stars.
