Til the Evening Star Falls
© 1989 Bryan Masters


C  G   D   G  C  G


           G
There's a front porch on the prairie
           C      G
Where my baby and I
                                  D
Would waltz across Kansas by the radio light
       G
We'd dance and she'd sing
           C         F
To every old cowboy tune
G                                D           G
waltzing like an angel by the light of the moon


             C           G              D        G
(Won’t you) sing me the evening star's sweet lullaby
  C           G
Kiss me the moonbeams
      D                     C          G
And then tell me why I got you for a blessing
     C          F
To shine in my life
    G                      C              G
Sing til the evening star falls from the sky
           D                     G
Until it falls from the sky


We danced by the hour
By the day, by the week
I was strong in the legs she was light on her feet
But then came the drought
And the flood and the kids
Still we danced when the moon shone yellow and big


Well my baby and me,
Lord, we came through it all
Now the kids have their own
And we still see them at the holidays
The light in your eyes
Still burns like a torch
We waltzed away two fine long lives on that porch
