Look up there, high above us
In a sky of blackest silk.
See how round, like a cookie
See how white, as white as milk
Call it the moon, my son, say "moon"
Sounds like your spoon, my son
Can you say it
New word today - say "moon"
Near the moon, brightly turning
See the shining sparks of light
Each one new, each one burning
Through the darkness of the night
We call them stars, my son, say "stars"
That one is Mars, my son
Can you say it
New word today - say "stars"
As they blink all around us
Playing starry-eyed games
Who would think it astounds us
Simply naming their names
Turn your eyes from the skies now
Turn around and look at me
There's a light in my eyes now
And a word for what you see
We call it love, my son, say "love"
So hard to say, my son
It gets harder
New words today, we'll learn to say
Learn "moon"
Learn "stars"
Learn "love"
