Well, baby, there's more stars out here than I can count

Oh, but if I could, I'd pull 'em down

And I'd keep the few that match the ones there in your eyes

And I'd take the rest and paint your face across the skies.

And it'd take about a million for your hair

And I'd wrap your arms around me everywhere.

And you'd be there on a cold night in georgia

And you'd be there when it's rainin' tennessee

And you'd be there when I'm out in california

And I'd wish on you each night before I'd sleep

And you'd be here with me.

Sometimes I hold your picture, oh, so close to me

And lay there in the quiet wishin' I could sleep

And every night just turns into another day

And every mile just seems to be a world away.

But I know god can hear me way up there

Sendin' up an old familiar prayer.

That you'd be there on a cold night in georgia

And you'd be there when it's rainin' tennessee

And you'd be there when I'm out in california

And I'd wish on you each night before I'd sleep.

And you'd be there on a cold night in georgia

You'd be there when it's rainin' tennessee

You'd be there when I'm out in california

And I'd wish on you each night before I'd sleep

And you'd be here with me.
