August

Sit by the bonfire
Velvet that drapes over the sky
Talk under the stars
Wonder what life'd be like on Mars

Watch her wide-eyed, memories ignite
Hold her real tight, whisper: My child

Seasons will fly by and friends will make you cry
The world will change before your eyes
You'll toast with champagne and make many mistakes
That will keep you awake late at night
But know that when the goin' gets too hard
You'll have me and the stars

Far, light years away
Does someone gaze at the Milky Way?
Dream under the stars
Nestled into her father's arms

Does he watch her wide-eyed? Memories ignite
Holds her real tight, whisper: My child

Seasons will fly by and friends will make you cry
The world will change before your eyes
You'll toast with champagne and make many mistakes
That will keep you awake late at night
But know that when the goin' gets too hard
You'll have me and the stars
Me and the stars

Even if we're miles apart, when you look up at the stars
You're back in my arms, oh my dear
If you raise your children right, they will see you in the sky
Hold their own real tight, say: My child

Seasons will fly by and friends will make you cry
The world will change before your eyes
You'll toast with champagne and make many mistakes
That will keep you awake late at night
But know that when the goin' gets too hard
You'll have me and the stars
