Song of Love

It's a simple little melody.
It makes me sleep in harmony.
It's a song that my mother used to sing for me.
When I was a child back in Tennessee.

"Little star, my little star, how's your day?
Your smile is the reason why I stay.
My love will be with you wherever you go.
My love will guide you until you grow."

That's a sweet song, my mother left me.
Oh, mom, please stay with me!
I thought you'll guide me until I grow,
But why did you go.

It's hard to know that your six feet under,
But your love will always make me stronger.
I will sing that song to my daughter,
And I will stay with her longer.
