I'm lonesome tonight while the moon's shining bright
Thinking of you, little dear
I'm here all alone in our little cabin home
I'm counting the stars in the blue
Lovesick and sorrow is what you brought to me
Oh why, tell me why, did you go
You left me to wander in this whole wide world alone
I'm counting the stars in the blue
I dream every night as I lay in my cabin
And pray to the One up above
To keep you for me and someday you'll return, dear
I'm counting the stars up above
I'll take your picture and frame it in gold
Reading love letters from you
I'm longing to see you in our little cabin home
I'm counting the stars in the blue
