Lyrics
Starlight
by Tara Caldwell*
Starlight was falling so bright on the dewdrops
And the shimmering wisp of a pale young moon
Softly the night breeze stirred in the treetops
As balmy and fair as a midnight in June
CHORUS Night on the river, dusk in the valley
Night on the hillside and stars in the sky
And under the heavens so bright with the starlight
There in the darkness, my lover and I
He spoke in a whisper, so warm in his nearness
And gave me his pledge that we never would part
My sweetheart forever, I will stay with you always
And no other love will come into my heart
CHORUS
Now starlight has tangled and curled in my tresses
Or perhaps ‘twas the moonlight that silvered my hair
The years have slipped by but I scarce knew their passing
In the starlight that shimmered so brilliant and fair
CHORUS
