Starshine

The moon has ruled too long,
and I haven’t heard your song;
The sky has been too bright
to see your lonesome light.

Come back and sing your song,
I hope it won’t be long,
Till I see you gleaming smile
And talk with you awhile.

You shine much more than most,
Yet you’re the last to boast,
Of what you have inside;
Your beauty can’t be denied.

Come back and sing your song,
I hope it won’t be long,
Till I see you gleaming smile
And talk with you awhile.

I envy your sojourn,
And wish for your return,
Don’t stay away too long;
Return and sing your song.

Come back and sing your song,
I hope it won’t be long,
Till I see you gleaming smile
And talk with you awhile.

Come home and stay for tea,
Don’t stay across the sea,
Come back to those who care
And wish that you were there.

Come back and sing your song,
I hope it won’t be long,
Till I see you gleaming smile
And talk with you awhile.
