    G
The light was leaving and the west it was blue

    C                   G
The children's laughter sang

And skipping just like the stones they threw

       C                        C
Their voices echoed across the way

             D
It's getting late

[Chorus]

G      F            C            D
It was just another night with a sunset and a

G        F             C               D
moonrise not so far behind to give us just enough light

    G        F             C               D
To lay down underneath the stars listen to papa's translations

G       F                 C                D
Of the stories across the sky, we drew our own constellations

[Solo] G G C C G G C C [Verse 2]

G
  The west winds often last too long

    C                                         G
The wind may calm down nothing ever feels the same

Sheltered under the Kamani tree

C                        G
Waiting for the passing rain

Clouds keep moving to uncover the scene

C                                 G
Stars above us chasing the day away

To find the stories that we sometimes need

C
Listen close enough

         C              D
All else fades, fades away

[Chorus]

G      F            C            D
It was just another night with a sunset and a

G        F             C               D
moonrise not so far behind to give us just enough light

    G        F             C               D
To lay down underneath the stars listen to papa's translations

G       F                C                  D
Of the stories across the sky, we drew our own constellations
