Star Searcher

Summer nights, are under a southern sky
And the Gulf of Mexico would lend us her dreams
That ol brown water like a mirror
Of the moonlight yeah night’s the best time
To be on the beach
It was here I gave your name
To a star
And I’d pretend each night I knew which one it was
Well tonight I wish I really could point it out
Cuz that’s as close to you as I’m
Ever gonna get now
I’m still drivin that ol, el camino
I still got the blanket behind the seat
I close my eyes and I find myself back there with you
No place in the world, I’d rather be
Back where I gave your name
To a star
And I’d pretend each night I knew which one it was
Well tonight I wish I really could point it out
Cuz that’s as close to you as I’m
Ever gonna get now
Well we planned to marry
Maybe start a family as soon as I pay my dues
To Uncle Sam
But two years was too long
I got back you were gone
Now I walk alone at night
In the sand
And tonight I gave your name to another star
And I never will forget which one it is
And I’ll always wonder where you really are
But your star is mine even if you are his
