Soft black stars

F Am G

F Am G

Little children snuggle,

F G Am

under soft black stars

F Am G

And if you look into their eyes,

F G Am

soft black stars

C Am

Deliver them from the book,

F G

and the letter and the word

F Am G

And let them read the silence,

F G Am

bathed in soft black stars

F Am G

Let them trace the raindrops,

F G Am

under soft black stars

F Am G

Let them follow whispers,

F G Am

and scare away the night

C Am

Let them kiss the feather breath,

F G

of soft black stars

F Am G

And let them ride their horses,

F G Am

licked by the wind and the snow

F Am G

And tip-toe into twilight,

F G Am

where we all one day will go

F Am G

Caressed with tenderness,

F G Am

and with no fear at all

C Am

Their faces shining river gold,

F G

washed by soft black stars

F Am G

And angels' wings shall soothe their cares,

F G Am

and all the birds shall sing at dawn,

F Am G

blessed and wet with joy

C Am

You and I will meet one day,

F G

under the night sky,

F G Am

lit by soft black stars.
