Krista Detor - More Than I Dare Say lyrics

MORE THAN I DARE SAY © Krista Detor, The Silver Wood: Wintersongs In the northern sky there is a winter swan Made of enough bright stars to wish upon And I am wishing for more than I dare say I am sitting with a book upon my knees Somewhere above me are sisters, the Pleides Lyra rising, a Christmas tune to play And I am wishing for more than I dare say I am counting the numbers – one to ten And I am tracing letters, when I learn them then I'll read every tale that you will write for me The shapes so curious, still such a mystery But I will learn them all, no matter, come what may ‘Cause I am wishing for more than I dare say In the northern sky there is a horse with wings And he flies away forever while a princess sings And I am wishing for more than I dare say So many things that I would tell you if I knew So I sit quiet as a churchmouse while I think of you, I sit quiet in this schoolroom every day ‘Cause I am wishing for more than I dare say I am counting the numbers one to ten And I am tracing letters, when I learn them then I'll read every tale that you will write to me; The shapes so curious, still such a mystery But I will learn them all, no matter, come what may ‘Cause I am wishing for more than I dare say In the northern sky there is a winter swan Made of enough bright stars to wish upon And I am wishing for more than I dare say For every shooting star at night, please let it be That when they go away forever, fly away from me The words I leave to them will help them find their way And on this Christmas, it's more than I can say So I am wishing for more than I dare say
