The weather man said there was a pretty good chance |
|
Of a big one coming that night |
|
Everybody in town was locking it down |
|
Closing shutters and finding flash lights |
|
Oh but daddy's intuition is sharper then a knife |
|
Said the rain don't come til the robin takes flight |
|
And he smiled like he always does |
|
We stayed out until the sun came up |
|
And we counted our blessings one by one |
|
And the wind and the thunder never did come |
|
We just sat there talking, laughing like fools |
|
Nobody watching but the man in the moon |
|
And the whole world slept that perfect night |
|
I learned a little 'bout living and a lot about life |
|
Out there in the backyard |
|
Just me and him and 538 stars |
|
Some shimmered and shined like big diamond rings |
|
Some sank into the milky way |
|
He old me about the one who led the three kings |
|
To the stable on christmas day |
|
He always made it easy for me to understand |
|
Said we're all a part of a much bigger plan |
|
And he smiled like he always does |
|
We stayed out until the sun came up |
|
And we counted our blessings one by one |
|
And the wind and the thunder never did come |
|
We just sat there talking, laughing like fools |
|
Nobody watching but the man in the moon |
|
And the whole world slept that perfect night |
|
I learned a little 'bout living and a lot about life |
|
Out there in the backyard |
|
Just me and him and 538 stars |
|
We watched the world |
|
Just the two of us |
|
Like it always is |
|
Like it always was |
|
And we counted our blessings one by one |
|
And the wind and the thunder never did come |
|
We just sat there talking, laughing like fools |
|
Nobody watching but the man in the moon |
|
And the whole world slept that perfect night |
|
I learned a little 'bout living and a lot about life |
|
Out there in the backyard |
|
Just me and him and 538 stars |
|
Just me and dad and 538 stars |
