Look at the clear night sky
So quiet, so peaceful
Look at the sparkling stars
Aren’t they beautiful?
Flashing like crystals
Gleaming like eyes
Staying up there
Looking down on us
They remind us of past memories
From the birth of man
Up until now
They’ve been there, watching us
Lighting the way for travelers
Leading those who are lost
Delighting kids
Amazing everyone
Watch them glimmer
Glimmer across the night sky
Watch them flicker
As they slowly fade away
As the night slowly vanishes
Replaced by the morning shine
You can still see a few stars
Saying their last good-bye’s
But they’ll be back
Like they’ve always been all this time
When night takes over
They’ll be back to shine once again
