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
