The moon was softly shing on an old Kentucky home
The fragrance of magnolia's filled the air
A lonely girl was writing to her sweet heart all alone
To say how much she wished that she were there.
Silver dew on the blue gra** tonight
How it shines in the moons silver light
And the day that used to be, ow I wish that you could be
Silver dew on the blue gra** tonight.
Star of love, high above shining bright
Know the wish that I'm wishing tonight
And you'll bring him back, I know, to the one who loves him so
Star of love high above shining bright.
Silver dew on the blue gra** tonight
How it shines in the moons silver light
And the day that used to be, how I wish that you could be
Silver dew on the blue gra** tonight...
