Look up there, high above us In a sky of blackest silk See how round, like a cookie See how white, as white as milk Call it the moon, my son Say moon Sounds like your spoon, my son Can you say it? New word today, say moon Near the moon, brightly turning See the shining sparks of light Each one new, each one burning Through the darkness of the night We call them stars, my son Say stars That one is Mars, my son Can you say it? New word today, say stars As they blink all around us Playing starry-eyed games Who would think it astounds us Simply naming their names? Turn your eyes from the skies now Turn around and look at me There's a light in my eyes now And a word for what you see We call it love, my son Say love So hard to say, my son It gets harder New words today We'll learn to say Learn moon, learn stars, learn love
