Oh, stars of the heaven, how thee do shine
Up there in big clusters, in small clusters
Together thee give twinkles that come with a smile
As if beckoning me to come join thee

Oh, stars of the heaven, how thee do shine
Softly blows the wind against my face
The crickets replicate a tune so squeak
The cry of the owl screech the still

Oh, stars of the heaven, how thee do shine
My senses forbid my wondering soul
Yet my spirit goes back, goes back
Yet my spirit goes back, goes back

Oh, stars of the heaven, how thee do shine
My tears flow  into a well of memories
Images of you I see smiling back to me
Whispering to me you will wait will wait

Oh, stars of the heaven, how thee do shine
My thoughts went back to the night just gone
That night I dreamt in your arms
This night I sleep with a distant heart
