The [D]weather man said there was a pretty good chance
Of a b[G]ig one coming that night
Every[D]body in town was locking it down
Closing s[G]hutters and finding flash lights
Oh but da[D]ddy's intuition is sharper then a knife
Said the r[G]ain don't come til the robin takes flight
And he sm[A]iled like he always does
We stayed out until the sun came up

And we co[D]unted our blessings one by one
And the w[G]ind and the thunder never did come
We just s[A]at there talking, laughing like fools
Nobody watching but the man in the moon
And the wh[D]ole world slept that perfect night
I learned a li[G]ttle bout living and a lot about life
Out th[A]ere in the backyard
Just [Bm]me and him and 5[A]38 s[D]tars

Some [D]shimmered and shined like big diamond rings
Some [G]sank into the milky way
He to[D]ld me about the one who led the three kings
To the s[G]table on Christmas Day
He a[D]lways made it easy for me to understand
Said we're [G]all a part of a much bigger plan
And he [A]smiled like he always does
We stayed out until the sun came up

And we [D]counted our blessings one by one
And the [G]wind and the thunder never did come
We just [A]sat there talking, laughing like fools
Nobody watching but the man in the moon
And the [D]whole world slept that perfect night
I learned a [G]little bout living and a lot about life
Out the[A]re in the backyard
Just [Bm]me and him and 5[A]38 s[D]tars

We watched[Bm] the world
Just the two of us[G]
Like it always is[Bm]
Like it always wa[G]s

And we [D]counted our blessings one by one
And the [G]wind and the thunder never did come
We just [A]sat there talking, laughing like fools
Nobody watching but the man in the moon
And the [D]whole world slept that perfect night
I learned a [G]little bout living and a lot about life
Out the[A]re in the backyard
Just [Bm]me and him and 5[A]38 s[D]tars
Just [Bm]me and dad and 5[A]38 s[D]tars
