Silver dew on the blue grass tonight

The moon was softly shining on an old Kentucky home
The fragrance of magnolias filled the air
A lonely girl was writing to her sweetheart all alone
To say how much she wish that he were there
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
How it shines in the moon silver light
In the days that used to be how I wish that you could see
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight
Star of love high above shining bright
Knows the wish that I'm wishing tonight
And you'll bring him back I know to the one that loves him so
Star of love high above shining bright
Silver dew on the blue grass tonight...
