[Intro]

G* G* C* C* G*

[Verse 1]

      G*                       C*
can't promise you the moon and stars
         C*                               E* 
but on a clear night we can go out in the yard
    E*                             C*
and lay upon the grass beneath the sky
C*                                G*  
count the shooting stars and satellites

[Verse 2]

        G*                        C*
I can't promise you won't need to cry
         C*                                E* 
but i'll help you wipe the tears from your eyes
           E*                                 C*
if there's one thing that you want to know is true
C*
   you must remember

can't promise you will always see
    C*                                E* 
how beautiful you are, how bright and free
    E*                             C*
for all the many changes you'll go through
C*
   please don't forget that
