Walking down life’s highway I am thinking every day
Of the many good old friends that now have past away
Sometimes I get weary but then when the night descends
In the stars above my head me are faces of my friends
Chorus:
There are stars in my sky – in my sky
There are stars in my sky in my sky
Friends who’ve gone before and knocked on heaven’s door
There are stars in my sky in my sky.
Sunshine does not shine the way that sunshine used to do
Morning light is not so bright and sight of morning dew
Does not fill me with the thrill it used to do before
When I think of those long gone who’ve left this earthly shore
Chorus:
Timeless are the mountains that I see as I pass by
Crystal are the fountains where the weary travellers lie
Silver is the moonlight as the stars come shining down
Smiling are the faces now that wear a golden crown.
Chorus:
Fortune’s wheel may sometimes steal a friend with just one spin
You rage at the dying light as darkness floods within
Then you see a snowflake fall with pure and gentle grace
In the night-sky you recall a smiling starlit face
