Suddenly before my eyes
Hues of indigo arise
With them how my spirit sighs –
Paint the sky with stars.
Only night will ever know
Why the heavens never show
All the dreams there are to know –
Paint the sky with stars.
Who has placed the midnight sky
So a spirit has to fly?
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will hang the midnight star?
Night has brought to those who sleep
Only dreams they cannot keep
I have legends in the deep –
Paint the sky with stars.
Who has placed the midnight sky
So a spirit has to fly?
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will hang the midnight star?
Place a name upon the night
One to set your heart alight
And to make the darkness bright –
Paint the sky with stars.
