If the Twinkling Stars Could Tell.
Copyright, 1888, by T. B. Kelley.
If the twinkling stars could speak, love,
In the quiet evening sky,
Oh, the secrets they would whisper,
Of the hearts that lonely sigh;
They would tell you how I'm longing,
Fondly waiting, love, for you,
If the twinkling stars could speak, love,
Up in yonder heaven's blue.
Chorus.
They'd tell you all I long to say,
When you are by my side,
The love repeat, so fond and sweet,
That ever shall abide;
They'd tell me how they sighed to kiss
The roses of your cheek,
If the twinkling stars could speak, love,
If the twinkling stars could speak.
If the twinkling stars could speak, love,
You ne'er should lonely be,
For they tell you I am thinking
Of you sweetly, longingly;
Tho' the weary hours might sever,
Life for us would opt be glad,
If the twinkling stars could speak, love,
Telling you my message glad.-Chorus.
If the twinkling stars could speak, love,
They would whisper in your dreams,
All the love my heart is keeping,
While the moon so silv'ry beams;
They would tell you I am waiting,
Lead you safely to my heart,
If the twinkling stars could speak, love,
And we never more should part.-Chorus.
