| The moon was softly shing on an old Kentucky home
|
| The fragrance of magnolia’s filled the air
|
| A lonely girl was writing to her sweet heart all alone
|
| To say how much she wished that she were there
|
| Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
|
| How it shines in the moons silver light
|
| And the day that used to be, ow I wish that you could be
|
| Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
|
| --- Instrumental ---
|
| Star of love, high above shining bright
|
| Know the wish that I’m wishing tonight
|
| And you’ll bring him back, I know, to the one who loves him so
|
| Star of love high above shining bright
|
| Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
|
| How it shines in the moons silver light
|
| And the day that used to be, how I wish that you could be
|
| Silver dew on the blue grass tonight… |
