Southern Star - Billy Gilman

I see her climbing my fence

She’s throwing stones up at my window

She loves the midnight hour

She wants to play and that’s all I need to know

I opened the door to the back porch

Barefoot on the cold floor

Didn’t know where she was coming from

But that’s what I’m goin' for

And it seems like the sun never goes down

When the daylight fades on this side of town

And we’re dancin' around

Under the southern stars

And it feels like there’s nothin' but wide open sky

When you’re spreadin' your wings and learning to fly

And you get so high you can’t forget where you are

I can’t come down

I’ve gone too far

Wishing on a southern star

We take the long way home

That’s where you find your dreams come true

Lying under the falling leaves

That’s when you change your point of view

I fell in love that summer

And I tried to tell her

But just try to catch an eagle

Like you could ever

Yeah, it seems like the sun never goes down

When the daylight fades on this side of town

And we’re dancin' around under the southern stars

I can’t come down, I’ve gone too far

I’m wishin' on my southern star
