• I am the keeper of the stars
    I look down at the homes and cars
    Silent and invisible, I stay
    Waiting to go out to play
    Until the sun leaves the sky
    And the moon rises up so high
    And the stars shine bright
    Like many flashlights in the night

    I am the keeper of the stars
    The burnt out ones I keep in jars
    And put them beside my seat
    Where I sew and where I eat
    And set them out by the sun
    They sit there till the day is done
    And once the moon lights up the night
    Once again they shine so bright

    I am the keeper of the stars
    I look down at the homes and cars
    And polish every star till they shine so bright
    And smile brightly through the night
    I am the keeper of the stars
    The burnt out ones I keep in jars
    And when the long long night is done
    They leave, to make space for the sun

    I am the keeper of the stars, you see
    And all night I sit up in the sky
    The moon, the stars, and me.
