about

This is a children's song , something I have attempted to write once before , but it is kind of fun to be nonsensical . I have yet to play it to an actual child . Any parents out there reading this ?

lyrics

A moonless sky lets the stars shine bright .
So wish upon a star , it could be your lucky night .
And if Mother Nature decides to be your friend ,
You might find a treasure at the rainbow's end .

Like a traveling circus saved by its clown .
All will not be lost if some are found .
So have a little faith and stand your ground .
And don't worry , the moon won't fall down .

One bad apple won't upset the cart .
And you won't be heatless if you have a heart .
And you know that babies don't grow on trees.
And though the moon is yellow , it's not made of cheese.

Like a traveling circus saved by its clown .
All will not be lost if some are found .
So have a little faith and stand your ground .
And don't worry , the moon won't fall down .

So dot your i's and cross your t's
And if you ask for something , be sure to say please .
Be kind to your friends and show them that you care,
If you have a little extra , make sure that you share .

Like a traveling circus saved by its clown .
All will not be lost if some are found .
So have a little faith and stand your ground .
And don't worry , the moon won't fall down .

So when you hear the raindrops at your window at night ,
Tucked under your covers, pulled up tight .
Let the sound of the falling rain lull you to sleep .
And have pleasant dreams , ah but not too deep.

Like a traveling circus saved by its clown .
All will not be lost if some are found .
So have a little faith and stand your ground .
And don't worry , the moon won't fall down .
So don't worry , the moon won't fall down .
