Stars Fall Down

(альбом: Boy From Anderson County To The Moon - 2022)

Baby, I can't lie
When your mom broke me the news, I swear I almost cried
It felt like I was told to grow up overnight
And be just another nine-to-five
And this old six string
Was gonna live in the back of the closet next to who I thought I'd be
But then you came along and these songs fell out of me
Yeah one day you'll see, it's alright to dream

So when you take aim baby, shoot for the sky
And if you miss it'll be alright
I'm gonna love you no matter what
'Cause that's just what a daddy does
Don't be scared if you burn bright that you'll burn out
And baby keep on shining, 'cause even stars fall down

Always be true
To yourself and say your prayers like momma taught you to do
Then one day a boy'll come and take my last name from you
You'll ride off together, and head straight for forever

So when you take aim baby, shoot for the sky
And if you miss it'll be alright
I'm gonna love you no matter what
'Cause that's just what a daddy does
Don't be scared if you burn bright that you'll burn out
And baby keep on shining, 'cause even stars fall down

You're gonna grow up, I'm gonna grow old
You'll have heartbreaks and I'll be heartbroke
It's all out there for you
Yeah, my one prayer for you

Is that when you take aim baby, shoot for the sky
And if you miss it'll be alright
I'm gonna love you no matter what
'Cause that's just what a daddy does
Don't be scared if you burn bright that you'll burn out
And baby keep on shining, 'cause even stars fall down
And baby keep on shining, 'cause even stars fall down

Whoa-woah, yeah
