STARS OVER TEXAS
I sit here alone on the wrong side of the water
Listening to the crickets on a warm summer night
The stars are above me and as I watch them sparkle
I wonder if you back home can see all their light
Do the same stars shine over Texas
Does that same moon watch over your sleep
And does the same sun warm you
When you wake up tomorrow
If that's so, then I know you ain't that far away
I miss the smell of bluebonnets, those wide open spaces
The soft, gentle touch of your hand on my skin
If I could fly like an eagle, I'd be back tomorrow
But these tears on my face show the mood that I'm in
And do the same stars shine over Texas
Does that same moon watch over your sleep
And does the same sun warm you
When you wake up tomorrow
If that's so, then I know you ain't that far away
Do the same stars shine over Texas
Does that same moon watch over your sleep
And does the same sun warm you
When you wake up tomorrow
If that's so, then I know you ain't that far away
