You Are My Starshine
Sung to the tune of You Are My Sunshine
Attributed to Oliver Hood, LaGrange, Georgia
Based on the 1939 version
published by Jimmie Davis & Charles Mitchell
the other night, Orion, as I lay stargazing
I dreamed of visiting you in swarms
but when I woke, Gemini, I was mistaken
and I hung my head and sighed
(chorus):
you are my starshine, my only starshine
you make me happy when skies are clear
you’ll never know, Sun, how much I need you
please don’t take my starshine from here
I’ll always love your light and try to be happy
if you will only stay the same
but if you leave me in a supernova
you will get all reused some day
(chorus)
you hold my eye, Sirius, and brighten so vividly
and nothing else can come between
but now I’ve seen Arcturus, Rigel and Canopus
and I’ve expanded all my dreams
(chorus)
