Tara Oram - 538 Stars lyrics

The weather man said there was a pretty good chance Of a big one coming that night Everybody in town was locking it down Closing shutters and finding flash lights Oh but daddy's intuition is sharper then a knife Said the rain don't come til the robin takes flight And he smiled like he always does We stayed out until the sun came up And we counted our blessings one by one And the wind and the thunder never did come We just sat there talking, laughing like fools Nobody watching but the man in the moon And the whole world slept that perfect night I learned a little 'bout living and a lot about life Out there in the backyard Just me and him and 538 stars Some shimmered and shined like big diamond rings Some sank into the milky way He old me about the one who led the three kings To the stable on christmas day He always made it easy for me to understand Said we're all a part of a much bigger plan And he smiled like he always does We stayed out until the sun came up And we counted our blessings one by one And the wind and the thunder never did come We just sat there talking, laughing like fools Nobody watching but the man in the moon And the whole world slept that perfect night I learned a little 'bout living and a lot about life Out there in the backyard Just me and him and 538 stars We watched the world Just the two of us Like it always is Like it always was And we counted our blessings one by one And the wind and the thunder never did come We just sat there talking, laughing like fools Nobody watching but the man in the moon And the whole world slept that perfect night I learned a little 'bout living and a lot about life Out there in the backyard Just me and him and 538 stars Just me and dad and 538 stars
