The weather man said there was a pretty good chance
\r\nOf a big one coming that night
\r\nEverybody in town was locking it down
\r\nClosing shutters and finding flash lights
\r\nOh but daddys intuition is sharper then a knife
\r\nSaid the rain dont come til the robin takes flight
\r\nAnd he smiled like he always does
\r\nWe stayed out until the sun came up
\r\n
\r\nAnd we counted our blessings one by one
\r\nAnd the wind and the thunder never did come
\r\nWe just sat there talking, laughing like fools
\r\nNobody watching but the man in the moon
\r\nAnd the whole world slept that perfect night
\r\nI learned a little bout living and a lot about life
\r\nOut there in the backyard
\r\nJust me and him and 538 stars
\r\n
\r\nSome shimmered and shined like big diamond rings
\r\nSome sank into the milky way
\r\nHe told me about the one who led the three kings
\r\nTo the stable on christmas day
\r\nHe always made it easy for me to understand
\r\nSaid were all a part of a much bigger plan
\r\nAnd he smiled like he always does
\r\nWe stayed out until the sun came up
\r\n
\r\nAnd we counted our blessings one by one
\r\nAnd the wind and the thunder never did come
\r\nWe just sat there talking, laughing like fools
\r\nNobody watching but the man in the moon
\r\nAnd the whole world slept that perfect night
\r\nI learned a little bout living and a lot about life
\r\nOut there in the backyard
\r\nJust me and him and 538 stars
\r\n
\r\nWe watched the world
\r\nJust the two of us
\r\nLike it always is
\r\nLike it always was
\r\n
\r\nAnd we counted our blessings one by one
\r\nAnd the wind and the thunder never did come
\r\nWe just sat there talking, laughing like fools
\r\nNobody watching but the man in the moon
\r\nAnd the whole world slept that perfect night
\r\nI learned a little bout living and a lot about life
\r\nOut there in the backyard
\r\nJust me and him and 538 stars
\r\nJust me and dad and 538 stars
