Lyrics (#individ) Back to listing Parent individual File I Used to Know the Names of All the Stars.doc Lyrics I Used to Know the Names of All the Stars By Paul Reisler w/ Ms. Bonthuis’ 1st grade, Red Hill Elementary, assistant: Terri Allard I used to know the names of all the stars now I only know a few planets Like Jupiter, Earth and Mars I used to know the name of every child back before I was born Back when I was safe and warm Back when I was flying in the sky Now I have to go to school And learn it all again Get good grades And try to remember when I used to know the words to all the songs Now I only know the melodies And I just hum along I used to know the language of the birds The Robin and the Bluejay I always knew what they would say The prettiest songs that I have ever heard Now I have to school And learn it all again Get good grades And try to remember when I used to know the leaf of every tree Now they're just a forest In the dusk of evening I used to see the God in everything Now it's just a rustlin' A whisper that I'm trustin' When the redbud blossoms in the spring Now I have to sleep And learn all again Let my dreaming take me To the place where it began I used to know the names of all the stars Do you really want to delete this item?
