"The Milky Way"
by Chris Duffecy


I ALWAYS LIKE TO SEE THE MILKY WAY
SPLASHED ACROSS THE SKY
LIKE A SPRINKLE OF SALT ON BLACK VELVET
SPILLED JUST TO PLEASE THE EYE

OH, THE SKY 'S SO BLACK
AND THE STARS SO BRIGHT
YOU CAN COUNT EACH AND EVERY ONE
AND ACROSS IT ALL FLOWS THE MILKY WAY
THE LIGHTS OF A BILLION SUNS...

I JUST LOVE TO SEE THE MILKY WAY
SWEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT
FOR THE STARS ALL MAKE ME FEEL SO SMALL...
AND I THINK THAT FEELING 'S RIGHT!
