(Verse 1) There's a little light above the rooftops That wasn't there last week Or maybe I just noticed it Between the errands and the sleep Another note beside the bedside Another thought I almost missed A tiny spark asking politely If I'd add it to the list (Pre-Chorus) The sky gets crowded slowly One small light at a time (Chorus) Keeping the sky sparkly Looking up into the night Wondering if that distant shimmer Needs a little more of my time Some stars are nearly finished Some still flicker quietly Some are only questions for now Keeping the sky sparkly (Verse 2) There's one I've been revisiting For longer than I meant A little brighter than before Though not quite where I want it yet There's another still unfinished Waiting somewhere further west I think about it every so often Then return to what I've got instead And every now and then a new one Appears before I'm through With the constellation I was tracing Just an evening or two ago (Pre-Chorus) The sky keeps making room For things I haven't named (Chorus) Keeping the sky sparkly Looking up into the night Wondering if that distant shimmer Needs a little more of my time Some stars are nearly finished Some still flicker quietly Some are only questions for now Keeping the sky sparkly (Bridge) Some evenings I add a new one Some evenings I repair Some evenings I just sit beneath The lights already there I don't always know which matters most The polishing or the start But all of them become part of The map I carry in my heart And somewhere between the wanting And letting a moment be The sky keeps changing slowly Because I cannot leave it alone (Final Chorus) Keeping the sky sparkly Looking up into the night Thinking about the ones behind me And the ones not shining yet Some stars become stories Some become songs eventually Some stay small and distant Still part of the scenery Keeping the sky sparkly One small light at a time Watching all these scattered pieces Find their place beside the others And wondering which one I'll follow next tonight
