your star will shine again one day
through deep blue velvet skies
shine for all the world to see
the universe in your eyes
when the storm outside is raging
and the dogs they howl your name
lay down, sleep, i'll kiss you
your star will shine again
hush my darling, don't you cry
i'll stay by your side until morning
all through the night, i'll watch the skies
and your distant sun
will shine like the gun
that's trained right between your daddy's eyes
