Liz Callaway, Maury Yeston - New words lyrics

Look up there high above us
In a sky of blackest silk see how round
Like a cookie see how white as white as milk

Call it "the moon", my son, say "moon"
Sound like your spoon, my son
Can you say it? New words today!
Say "moon" near the moon
Brightly turning
See those shining sparks of light?
Each one new, each one burning
Through the darkness of the night

We call them "stars", my son
Say "stars" this one is Mars, my son
Can you say it? New words today!
Say "stars"

As they twinkle around us
Playing starry-eyed games
Who would think it astounds us
Simply naming their names

Turn your eyes from the skies now
Turn around and look at me there's a light
In my eyes now, and a word for what you see
We call it "Love" my son, say "Love"
So hard to say, my son, it gets harder

New words today we'll learn to say
Learn "moon" learn "stars"
Learn "love
