[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
d come back ho
me to me
[Verse 3]
The moon said
yes I'll let t
hem play
And twinkle wi
th all their m
ight
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
he lonesome ni
ght
Then the stars
will twinkle
and my baby wi
ll see them
And she will g
et lonesome an
d come back ho
me to me
[Instrumental]
[Verse 5]
Then the wind
blew the cloud
s and hid the
moon
The stars all
twinkled so br
ight
But there in a
flash my whol
e world crashe
d
When I got hea
ven's reply
[Verse 6]
They told my y
ou'd found som
eone new
And there was
nothing they c
ould do
Then I told th
e stars and th
ey quit twinkl
ing
They told the
moon and it be
gan to cry
[Verse 7]
The moon told
the wind and i
t began to moa
n
The wind told
the clouds and
by and by
The rain came
falling down
