kid pan alley - i used to know the names of all the stars lyrics
i used to know the names of all the stars
but now i just know a few planets
like jupiter, earth and mars
i used to know the name of every child
but that was back before i was born
back when i was safe and warm
back when i was flying in the sky
now i have to go to school
and learn it all again
get good grades
and try to remember when
i used to know the words to all the songs
now i only know the melodies
and i just hum along
i used to know the language of the birds
the robin and the bluejay
i always knew what they would say
the prettiest songs that i have ever heard
now i have to school
and learn it all again
get good grades
and try to remember when
i used to know the names of every tree
now they’re just a forest
in the dusk of evening
i used to see the god in everything
now it’s just a rustlin’
a whisper that i’m trustin’
when the redbud blossoms in the spring
now i have to sleep
and learn all again
let my dreaming take me
to the place where it began
i used to know the names of all the stars
