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...
