The streets were called her home She lived there all alone Her bread was nearly gone Yet, humble was her heart 'Twas made of gold and warmth One fateful day, she needed to depart And the stars were bright On this winter night Like one hundred thousand lanterns Guiding lights above Oh, the stars were bright On this winter night And one hundred thousand memories Fillеd her heart with endlеss love The stars would guide her way To a man starving for days She gave her bread away Four children, barely clad They looked piteously sad To give them her last clothes Made her glad And the stars were bright On this winter night Like one hundred thousand lanterns Guiding lights above Oh, the stars were bright On this winter night And one hundred thousand memories Filled her heart with endless love ♪ She stood there Mild and bare In the fair Moonlight ♪ And the stars up high Left the winter sky Like one hundred thousand snowflakes Made of glistening gold Oh, the stars up high Left the winter sky And one hundred thousand thalers Filled her hands with gleaming gold (She stood there) Mild and bare In the fair moonlight Stars up high, left the sky And all is made of gold She stood there Mild and bare In the fair moonlight Stars up high Left the sky And all is made of gold
