Capo 1st fret
E
There are stars so distant
A
The light that left 'em ages ago just came into
E
view
B7
That twinkling we're seeing now
May
A
be from a star that burned out ages a-
E
go
B7
When I was
E
young like you
Oh and that's the
A
way
That's the way our
E
people are
They ain't
B7
gone long as they shine on
E
In our hearts
And just so we
A
know
Right where they
E
are
B7
God lets the light outlive the
E
star
The stars we see in the sky at night
A
Are there all day but they're lost in the sunlight
E
Without darkness, stars cannot shine
B7
As without sorrow, joy would be be-
E
nign
Oh and that's the
A
way
That's the way our
E
people are
They ain't
B7
gone long as they shine on
E
In our hearts
And just so we
A
know
They ain't gone a-
E
way too far
B7
God lets the light outlive the
E
star
(no singing)

'Cause there are stars so distant
A
The light that left 'em ages ago just came
E
into view
B7
That twinkling we're seeing now
May be from a
A
star that burned out
E
ages ago
B7
When I was young like
E
you
Oh and that's the
A
way
That's the way our
E
people are
He ain't
B7
gone long as he shines on
E
And on in our hearts
And just so we
A
know
Brother right where you
E
are
B7
God lets the light outlive the
E
star
B7
That's why God lets the light outlive the
