lyrics

CRICKET

On a moonlit night, reach up and touch the stars
They will shine for you
Just take them down, they’re yours to keep
On this summer night

Talk to the katydids, follow the fireflies
Swallow the evening dew, this night will wait for you
Can you step outside
Slip through the graying mist, breathe in the mossy air
Awake your feeble bones, this evening has no cares
Come outside, you’re alive

These sweet-filled trees, they swoop right down
Berries to the ground
Just shake them down, they’re yours to take
On this summer night

On this moonlit hill, reach out and touch my hand
I will smile for you
Just shake me down, I’m yours to take
On this summer night

On a moonlit night, reach up and touch the stars
They will shine for you
