Little children snuggle

Under soft black stars

And if you look into their

Eyes soft black stars

Deliver them from the book

And the letter and the word

And let them read the silence

Bathed in soft black stars

Let them trace the raindrops

Under soft black stars

Let them follow whispers and

Scare away the night

Let them kiss the featherbreath

Of soft black stars

And let them ride their horses

Licked by the wind and the snow

And tip-toe into twilight where

We all one day will go

Caressed with tendrils and

With no fear at all

Their faces shining river gold

Washed with soft black stars

And angels＇ wings shall soothe their cares

And all the birds shall sing at dawn

Blessed and wet with joy

You and I will meet one day

Under a nightsky lit by soft black stars
