Maddie's Moon©
Ken Smith (03/12/2012)
Must be a million stars, in a springtime Texas sky
Although they seem so far away; we can touch them if we try
I'd reach up & capture Jupiter; maybe Venus too; a thousand sparkling others & give them all to you
Then add one to the universe; and call it Maddie's Moon
Heavens shining brightly; and a smile upon your face
Driving down a country road; at a Lone Star country pace
Everything here below seems exactly right; God's creation we behold on a starry Texas night
And just to make you happy; I'd hang the moon for you
Yesterday a toddler; a young lady now you are
Nine years old, more beautiful; than any rising star
If I had within my power, what I'd ask God to do; is shape another planet, paint it pink and purple too
Then hang it in the Texas sky, and call it Maddie's Moon
I'd give you all the flowers found in April, May and June
And take a couple hours to write a special tune
Then sing it on your birthday; underneath the Maddie Moon
And sing it on your birthday; underneath the Maddie Moon
