The was softly shining on an old Kentucky home The fragrance of magnolias the air A lonely girl was writing to her sweetheart all alone To say much she wish that he were there Silver on the blue grass tonight
How it shines the moon silver light In the days that used to be how wish that you could see Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
Star of love high above bright Knows wish that I'm wishing tonight And you'll bring him back know to the one that loves him so Star of love high above shining bright Silver on the blue grass tonight...
