[Verse 1]
(as it comes)
The Gwind through the Dcyprus Emmade Bmthem Csway
And Amrolled the Gclouds back that Cwinter Dday
The Emsun shone through Bmlong enough to CsayG  
"Your Ambaby was Ghere, but Dcannot Gstay."G  
[Bridge]
For Gthere are more imBmportant things to CdoD  
And Gshe must add a Bmgleam to heaven’s ChueD  
To help Gbrighten the Bmpathway for Cone and Dall
For Emthrough the Bmdarkness, Cgreat men Dfall!
This Emlittle Bmspirit, so Cpleasant and Dfair
ReEmturned to the Bmones who Cwere waiting Dthere
And Gwhen I walk out Bmin the night diCvineG  
I know Amone of the stars that Gshine is Dmine!
[Verse 2]
(strum as it comes)
DShe Gcame to the Dearth just Emfor Bma Cwhile
Not Amlong enoGugh to Csee her Dsmile
(regular)
For Emthis little Bmbaby we Cloved so Gmuch
Was Amjust too Gprecious for a Dmother’s Gtouch

G D Em Bm C

The wind through the cyprus made them sway

And rolled the clouds back that winter day

The sun shone through long enough to say

Am G D G G

"Your baby was here, but cannot stay."

[Bridge]

For there are more important things to do

And she must add a gleam to heaven’s hue

G Bm C D

To help brighten the pathway for one and all

For through the darkness, great men fall!

Em Bm C D

This little spirit, so pleasant and fair

Em Bm C D

Returned to the ones who were waiting there

G Bm C G

And when I walk out in the night divine

Am G D

I know one of the stars that shine is mine!
