This Sound Right :)

    
The weather man said there was a pretty good chance
      
Of a big one coming that night
     
Everybody in town was locking it down
         
Closing shutters and finding flash lights
         
Oh but daddy's intuition is sharper then a knife
          
Said the rain don't come til the robin takes flight
         
And he smiled like he always does
We stayed out until the sun came up

Chorus
         
And we counted our blessings one by one
         
And the wind and the thunder never did come
         
We just sat there talking, laughing like fools
Nobody watching but the man in the moon
          
And the whole world slept that perfect night
              
I learned a little bout living and a lot about life
      
Out there in the backyard
                      
Just me and him and 538 stars

     
Some shimmered and shined like big diamond rings
     
Some sank into the milky way
     
He told me about the one who led the three kings
        
To the stable on Christmas Day
    
He always made it easy for me to understand
            
Said we're all a part of a much bigger plan
       
And he smiled like he always does
We stayed out until the sun came up


Chorus
       
And we counted our blessings one by one  
        
And the wind and the thunder never did come
        
We just sat there talking, laughing like fools
Nobody watching but the man in the moon
        
And the whole world slept that perfect night
            
I learned a little bout living and a lot about life
       
Out there in the backyard
                      
Just me and him and 538 stars


Bridge
          
We watched the world
                  
Just the two of us
                 
Like it always is
                 
Like it always was


Chorus
       
And we counted our blessings one by one  
        
And the wind and the thunder never did come
        
We just sat there talking, laughing like fools
Nobody watching but the man in the moon
        
And the whole world slept that perfect night
            
I learned a little bout living and a lot about life
       
Out there in the backyard
                      
Just me and him and 538 stars
                        
Just me and dad and 538 stars
