Lost In The Stars

(kurt weill/maxwell anderson)

Before lord god made the sea and the land

He held all the stars in the palm of his hand

And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand

And one little star fall alone



Then the lord god hunted through the wild night air

For the little dark star in the wind down there

And he stated and promised he'd take special care

So it wouldn't get lost again



Now, man don't mind if the stars grow dim

And the clouds blow over and darken him

So long as the lord god's watching over him

Keeping track how it all goes on



But i've been walking through the night and the day

Till my eyes get weary and my hair turns grey

And sometimes it seems maybe god's gone away

Forgetting the promise that we heard him say



And we're lost out here in the stars

Little stars, big stars

Blowing through the night



And we're lost out here in the stars

Little stars, big stars

Blowing through the night



And we're lost out here in the stars
