Every Little Star

[Intro] [whispered] One for the honey on my paws One for the puddle by the door [Verse 1] Blanket still warm where I left it Cold glass humming against my nose Out there the whole day's coming back to me Small and gold, the way it goes [Pre-Chorus] I hold the pillow, don't say goodnight yet There's too much shining I ain't ready to forget [Chorus] Every little star, one for something I did One for the way the meadow tasted, one for the hill I slid Count 'em slow, count 'em soft Keep 'em close till the morning takes 'em off [Verse 2] That one's the friend who shared his apple That one's the river I fell in This whole ceiling of far-off lanterns Holding all the where I've been [Pre-Chorus] So I stay wide-eyed, I stretch the moment thin There's too much shining, let the morning wait a min [Chorus] Every little star, one for something I did One for the way the meadow tasted, one for the hill I slid Count 'em slow, count 'em soft Keep 'em close till the morning takes 'em off [Bridge] [soft] Funny how the day feels bigger from up here Every little laugh becomes a lantern hanging near And I don't need to keep them, I just need to know They were mine tonight before I let them go [Chorus] Every little star, one for something I did One for the way the meadow tasted, one for the hill I slid Count 'em slow, count 'em soft Keep 'em close till the morning takes 'em off [Outro] [whispered] One for the honey on my paws One more... then I'll close the door
