Silver Dew On The Blue Grass Tonight

The moon was softly shining

On an old Kentucky home

The fragrance of magnolias filled the air

A lonely girl was writing

To her sweetheart all alone

To say how much she wished

That he were there

Silver dew on the blue grass tonight

How it shines in the moon's silver light

In the days that used to be

How I wish that you could see

Silver dew on the blue grass tonight

Star of love, high above, shining bright

Know the wish that I'm wishing tonight

And you'll bring him back, I know

To the one that loves him so

Star of love, high above, shining bright

Silver dew on the blue grass tonight

How it shines in the moon's silver light

In the days that used to be

How I wish that you could see

Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
