A blanket of stars covers her shoulders And glistens her hair and twinkles her eyes A blanket of stars wraps her in splendor Makes her so fair my love sick heart sighs It whispers I love you and you alone In sweet words of love tenderly says A blanket of stars holds her in beauty As the moon up above rides overhead A blanket of stars caress my darling And with a crown the story gets told A blanket of stars makes her a fairy In her pretty gown all silvery and gold And she is a princess a beautiful rose Blooming all day tenderly sweet A blanket of stars covers her shoulders And then her eyes pray as her yearning lips meet
