Starry Night

Starry Night I gaze upon the starry night and sigh A wonder of the world that fills my eyes A canvas of the heavens in the sky A masterpiece of nature's art and guise The stars are like the jewels of a crown That sparkle and adorn the dark blue dome The moon is like a lantern shining down That guides and cheers the lonely souls who roam The clouds are like the waves of a sea That flow and curl around the stars and moon The wind is like a whisper of a plea That sings and soothes the restless heart in tune But oh, the starry night will soon be gone The dawn will break and bring another day The stars will fade and lose their brilliant tone The moon will dim and hide its gentle ray And I will mourn the loss of such a sight That filled my soul with wonder and delight
