V1 A year ago this old house felt so alive Now her side of the bed stays empty every night That wedding picture sitting on the dresser Still pulls me right back into those hazel eyes Most days I stay strong for our little boy But when he’s asleep the pain comes back around So I talk to the man in the sky before I shut my eyes And hope she’s somewhere up there lookin’ down 1st CH I pray Lord when you hang the stars out tonight And they’re shining beautiful and bright Could you hang one more star in the sky To let me know she’s by your side Lord if she’s doin’ alright Could you hang one more star out tonight V2 Not a day goes by I don’t think about that night Breaks my heart inside when my son cries, “why’d she have to die” Barely knew his mother, there’s so much he’ll discover Piece by piece, we’re pickin’ up what’s left of our lives There’s old pictures I keep of our little family In an album by his bed marked, “Precious Memories” Next week he turns four and last night when I closed his door It was hard to keep the tears from slipping down my cheek 2nd CH He said Lord when you hang the stars out tonight And they’re shining beautiful and bright Could you hang one more star in the sky To let me know my mama’s fine Lord if you have enough light Could you hang one more star out tonight BR Peered through the blinds before closin’ his eyes Saw a lone star glistening And that night things were alright He knew the Lord was listening FINAL CH He said Lord when you hang the stars out tonight And they’re shining beautiful and bright Could you hang one more star in the sky To let me know my mama’s fine OUTRO And Lord would you tell my daddy You hung one more star out tonight
