Sit by the bonfire Velvet that drapes over the sky Talk under the stars Wonder what life'd be like on Mars Watch her wide-eyed Memories ignite Hold her real tight Whisper 'my child' Seasons will fly by And friends will make you cry The world will change before your eyes You'll toast with champagne And make many mistakes that Will keep you awake late at night But know that when the going gets too hard You'll have me and the stars Far, light years away Does someone gaze at the Milky Way Dream under the stars Nestled into her father's arms Does he watch her wide-eyed Memories ignite Holds her real tight Whispers 'my child' Seasons will fly by And friends will make you cry The world will change before your eyes You'll toast with champagne And make many mistakes that Will keep you awake late at night But know that when the going gets too hard You'll have me and the stars Me and the stars Even if we're miles apart When you look up at the stars You're back in my arms, Oh my dear If you raise your children right They will see you in the sky Hold their own real tight Say, 'my child' Seasons will fly by And friends will make you cry The world will change before your eyes You'll toast with champagne And make many mistakes that Will keep you awake late at night But know that when the going gets too hard You'll have me and the stars
