John Mcdermott - Old Tin Star Lyrics
How old was i, 5 or 6 or soThe innocent years, long agoFather on a chair reaching up so farCrowning the tree, with that old tin starAnd it shines so pretty diamonds in the sunNothin but good things will ever comeLittle boy dont grow up stay as sweet as you areSo you still gaze in wonder at that old tin star.I grew up and I found a place to liveAs I unpacked my things I found a giftAnd it felt like home, though Id come so farFor there in my hands was that old tin starAnd it shines so pretty, diamonds in the sunNothing but good things, will ever comeLittle boy dont grow up, stay as sweet as you areSo you still gaze in wonder, at that old tin star.I have kids of my own and troubles Ive had someIve cried my tears and Ive had my funI climb that chair and I reach out so farAnd my son looks up at that old tin starAnd it shines so pretty, diamonds in the sunNothing but good things will ever comeLittle boy dont grow up, stay as sweet as you areSo you still gaze in wonder, at that old tin star.
