Soft Black Stars

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 feather-breath of soft black stars
 And let them ride their horsies, 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 brushed 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 night sky lit by soft black stars
