[Intro]
     


[Verse 1]

I told my hear

t last night y

ou were gone
            
And it started

              
 pleading with

 
 me

Go tell the st

ars and they w

ill twinkle
            
And make her l

            
onesome and dr

eam


[Verse 2]
             
Please Mister 

            
Moon let the s

tars
            
Come out and p

              
lay until the 

            
breaking of da

y

And they will 

twinkle and my

 baby will see

 them
             
And she will g

              
et lonesome an

[Verse 3]
             
The moon said

hem play
             
And twinkle wi

If you'll get 

the clouds to 

hide my face
            
From this lone

     
some night


[Verse 4]
             
Please Mister 

             
Wind blow the 


clouds
            
They'll hide t

              
he moon from t

ght

Then the stars

 will twinkle 

and my baby wi

ll see them
             
And she will g

              
et lonesome an

[Instrumental]
     


[Verse 5]

Then the wind 

blew the cloud

s and hid the 

moon
             
The stars all

The rain came
