The weather man said there was a pretty good chance Of a big one coming that night Everybody town was locking it down Closing shutters and finding flash lights Oh but daddys intuition is sharper then a knife Said the rain dont come til the robin takes And he smiled like he always does We stayed out until the sun came up
And we counted our blessings one by one And the wind and the thunder never did come We just sat there talking, laughing like fools Nobody watching but man in the moon And the whole world slept that perfect night I learned a little bout living and a lot about Out there in the backyard Just me and him and 538 stars
Some shimmered and shined like big diamond rings Some sank into the milky way He told me about one who led the three kings To the stable on christmas day He always made it easy for me to understand Said were all a part a much bigger plan And he smiled like he always does We stayed out until the sun came up
And we counted our blessings one by one And the wind and the thunder never did come We just sat there talking, laughing like fools Nobody watching but the man in the moon And the whole world slept that perfect I learned a little bout living and a lot about Out there in the backyard Just me and him and 538 stars
We watched the world Just the two of us Like it always is Like it always was
And counted our blessings one by one And the wind and the thunder never did come We just sat there talking, laughing like fools Nobody watching but the man in the moon the whole world slept that perfect night I learned a little bout living and a lot about life Out there in the backyard Just me and him and 538 stars Just me and dad and 538 stars
