Pocketful of Stars

[Verse] I found a penny by the roadside glow Picked it up Said "where do we go" To a place where the moon never hides Where the sky’s got secrets it confides [Chorus] Pocketful of stars I’m rich tonight Filling up the dark with borrowed light If I lose one Will the sky still care Or is the magic just hanging there [Verse 2] I threw a pebble in a wishing stream Watched the ripples carry my dream The water whispered "wait and see" But patience is a mystery to me [Bridge] Every spark Every shine A little clue Of what’s up there What’s hiding too I’m holding tight But they slip through What’s a pocket to a cosmic view [Chorus] Pocketful of stars I’m rich tonight Filling up the dark with borrowed light If I lose one Will the sky still care Or is the magic just hanging there [Outro] I’ll keep them close Though they burn my hands A treasure more fragile than shifting sands Pocketful of stars My little delight Counting dreams in the endless night
