New Words (Live) - Philip Quast

Look up there

High above us

In a sky of blackest silk

See how round like a cookie

See how white as white as milk

Call it the moon

My son

Say moon

Sounds like

Your spoon

My son

Can you say it

New word today say moon

Near the moon brightly turning

See the shining sparks of light

Each one new each one burning

Through the darkness of the night

We call them stars my son

Say stars

That one is mars my son

Can you say it

New word today say stars

As they blink all around us

Playing starry eyed games

Who would think it astounds us

Simply naming their names

Turn your eyes from the skies now

Turn around and look at me

There's a light in my eyes now

And a word for what you see

We call it

Love

My son

Say love

So hard to say my son

It gets harder

New words today we'll learn to say

Learn moon

Learn stars

Learn love
