B
Softly the morning light,
E
Softly the dew,
B
Softly my soul will bend,
F#
As she comes in view,
B
At dawn she is delicate,
E
And burning by noon,
F#G#mF#E
The end of the day will come soon.
[Chorus]
B
And the stars in my lonely sky,
EB
Are infinite bright,
EB
And the stars know my soul will fly,
F#
They're holding it tight.
[Verse 2]
B
There she is rising now,
E
My heart it might break,
B
The birds in her warmth will fly,
F#
My soul it will ache,
B
And the world comes alive for her,
E
In awe at her gaze,
F#G#mF#E
And suddenly the sky is ablaze,
[Chorus]
B
And the stars in my lonely sky,
EB
Are infinite bright,
EB
And the stars know my soul will fly,
F#
They're holding it tight.

[Verse 3]
B
Say not her name to me,
E
For I live in the shade,
B
Briefly I see her,
F#
As she starts to fade,
B
In silence we pass,
E
Our path is well worn,
F#G#mF#E
In silence I wait for the dawn.
[Chorus]
B
And the stars in my lonely sky,
EB
Are infinite bright,
EB
And the stars know my soul will fly,
F#sus4F#
They're holding it tight.
[Verse 4]
B
Calmly I drift along,
E
Oh I will endure,
B
I only belong to her,
F#
Of that I am sure,
B
Will I ever hold her,
E
I cannot presume,
N.C.
For she's the sun,
F#G#mF#E
I'm only the moon.
[Chorus x 2]
EB
And the stars in my lonely sky,
EB
Are infinite bright,
EB
And the stars know my soul will fly,
F#
They're holding it tight.
