Counting Stars Tonight

(Verse 1)
One little star up in the sky,
Twinkling bright, so very high.
Two and three come shining through,
Smiling down on me and you. 

(Chorus)
Let’s count stars, soft and slow,
As the nighttime breezes blow.
Close your eyes and hold me tight,
We’ll count stars all through the night. 

(Verse 2)
Four and five now gently gleam,
Floating in a sleepy dream.
Six and seven, sparkle bright,
Keeping watch all through the night. 

(Chorus repeat)
Let’s count stars, soft and slow,
As the nighttime breezes blow.
Close your eyes and hold me tight,
We’ll count stars all through the night.

(Outro – whispered)
Eight, nine, ten… now dreams begin…
Nighty-night, my little friend.
