When we were little
Stars painted the nights
Lights go out
We'd count 'em
Shining oh so bright
Mother wake up early
Make breakfast for the crew
Getting ready for school
With love she'd see us through
Father rise in the morning
Work hard all day long
Coming home tired but still playing
Never doing us wrong
Grandma and grandpa
Telling tales beneath the moon
Walks in the garden
History they'd share with a tune
But now we're grown
The stars are outta sight
Mother's hair turning gray
We make our own sunlight
Father's retired
Can't take us out to play
And the silence at night
No more tales in our day
When we were little
Stars painted the nights
Lights go out
We'd count 'em
Shining oh so bright
Mother wake up early
Make breakfast for us
Getting ready for school
With love she'd see us through
Father rise in the morning
Work hard all day long
coming home with a smile
never made us feel wrong
Grandma and grandpa
Telling tales beneath the moon
Walks in the garden
History they'd share with a tune
But now we're grown
The stars are no longer in sight
Mother's hair turning gray
We make our own sunlight
Father's retired
Can't take us out to play
And the silence at night
No more tales in our day
But now we're grown
The stars are no longer in sight
Mother's hair turning gray
We make our own sunlight
Father's retired
Can't take us out to play
And the silence at night
No more tales in our day
[Verse]
When we were little
Stars painted the nights
Lights go out
We'd count 'em
Shining oh so bright
Mother wake up early
Make breakfast for the crew
Getting ready for school
With love she'd see us through
[Verse 2]
Father rise in the morning
Work hard all day long
Coming home tired but still playing
Never doing us wrong
Grandma and grandpa
Telling tales beneath the moon
Walks in the garden
History they'd share with a tune
[Chorus]
But now we're grown
The stars are outta sight
Mother's hair turning gray
We make our own sunlight
Father's retired
Can't take us out to play
And the silence at night
No more tales in our day
[Verse]
When we were little
Stars painted the nights
Lights go out
We'd count 'em
Shining oh so bright
Mother wake up early
Make breakfast for us
Getting ready for school
With love she'd see us through
[Verse 2]
Father rise in the morning
Work hard all day long
coming home with a smile
never made us feel wrong
Grandma and grandpa
Telling tales beneath the moon
Walks in the garden
History they'd share with a tune
[Chorus]
But now we're grown
The stars are no longer in sight
Mother's hair turning gray
We make our own sunlight
Father's retired
Can't take us out to play
And the silence at night
No more tales in our day
But now we're grown
The stars are no longer in sight
Mother's hair turning gray
We make our own sunlight
Father's retired
Can't take us out to play
And the silence at night
No more tales in our day
