Am
Hereʼs a star called sun,
C
It was there that my mom came undone
Dm
Sounds of a summer parade
G
90.5 in the shade
Am
She drifted off on the Fourth of July
C
A holiday look in her eyes
Dm
Said goodbye to a lifetime of pain
G
She died in the midsummer rain
Dm Am
She said: Thereʼs one million stars
for every little grain of sand down there
She floated up like a rocket in space
The misery gone from her face
Flying through comets and stars
Out past the canyons on Mars
She saw the future and she saw the past
She said "Donʼt worry, itʼs not meant to last"
"Everythingʼs always Okay"
"Even the worst of your days"
Thereʼs one million stars for every little grain
of sand down there
So now sheʼs there when I look at the sky
Or when I drink whiskey or wine
Or when I feel frightened at night
Or days when Iʼm sick of my life
She says "Son it will all be all right"
"Everythingʼs already fine"
"If only you knew what Iʼve seen"
"Youʼd never feel frightened again"
Thereʼs one million stars for every little grain
of sand down there
