Lyrics

[Intro]
| G - | Fadd9 - | Cadd9 -        | Dadd9   -       |
| G - | Fadd9 - | Cadd9 -        | Dadd9   -       |
| G - | -     - | Csus2 Csus2/F# | Csus2/G Csus2/A |
| G - | -     - | Csus2 Csus2/F# | Csus2/G Csus2/A |

[Verse 1]
G
 The light was leaving
In the west it was blue
    Csus2 Csus2/F# Csus2/G Csus2/A   G
The children's    lau____ghter__ sang
And skipping just like the stones they threw
      Csus2 Csus2/F# Csus2/G Csus2/A      C
Their voi__ces_____ echoed across  the waves
               Dsus2
It's getting late   

[Chorus]
G      Csus4/F             C
It was just   another night
          Dsus2
With a sunset  
      G        Csus4/F             C
And a moonrise not    so far behind
               Dsus2
To give us just     enough light
   G        Csus4/F             C
To lay down underneath the stars
            Dsus2
Listen to papa's translations
G      Csus4/F               C
Of the stories across the sky
               Dsus2
We drew our own     constellations

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
G
 The west winds often last too long
    Csus2     Csus2/F#
But when they calm    down
Csus2/G      Csus2/A      G
Nothing ever feels  the same
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
Csus2   Csus2/F#    Csus2/G Csus2/A  G
Waiting for     the pa_____ssing__ rain
Clouds keep moving to uncover the sea
Csus2  Csus2/F#   Csus2/G     Csus2/A    G
Stars above    us chasing the day    away
To find the stories that we sometimes need
Csus2  Csus2/F#      Csus2/G
Listen close   enough
Csus2/A     C                Dsus2
All    else fades, fades away

[Chorus]
G      Csus4/F             C
It was just   another night
          Dsus2
With a sunset  
      G        Csus4/F             C
And a moonrise not    so far behind
               Dsus2
To give us just     enough light
   G        Csus4/F             C
To lay down underneath the stars
            Dsus2
Listen to papa's translations
G      Csus4/F               C
Of the stories across the sky
               Dsus2
We drew our own     constellations
