Counting Stars

Why not just sleep forever, somewhere discreet? I hold my hands to my chest But I feel a steady beat I feel a man who's blessed Holes into the heavens, gently dotted in the sky Gateways to my heart piercing through to where I lie The only sound is a distant hum, as a city sleeps I'm overcome In audience of such majesty, I wouldn't mind to die Lay me down in the sleeping grass As the summer air breathes slowly past Your hand in mine we count the stars Your hand in mine, this moment is ours Away from the noise, away from it all Staring into the sky no longer feeling so small I hold my hands to my chest I feel a steady beat I know I'm blessed As you lay me down, in the sleeping grass For a moment all fear has come to pass In this moment we sing as the stars come out In this moment I see beyond any doubt As you lay me down I feel a surging beat As you lay me down Holes into the heavens, gently dotted in the sky Gateways to my heart The only sound, a distant hum, as a city sleeps I'm overcome I'm overcome In this moment we sing as the stars come out In this moment I see beyond any doubt
