Star Searcher - Mike Dean

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
