Shine Out All You Little Stars 1910 Kern

As twilight fell she sat alone,
a maid demure and shy,
and watched the stars go creeping to
their places in the sky.
She tired of counting them at last,
for time so slowly goes,
when matters wait with songs like those
that ev'ry maiden knows, Ah!

Shine out, all you little stars,
all you little stars,
please shine.
And keep me company
until he comes to me
at a quarter past nine,
for the world be bright
with your silv'ry light
it will oh, so lonely be
if his hand is not in mine
when the little hand's on nine,
and the big hand's on three.

Shine out, all you little stars,
all you little stars,
please shine.
And keep me company
until he comes to me
at a quarter past nine,
for the world be bright
with your silv'ry light
it will oh, so lonely be
if his hand is not in mine
when the little hand's on nine,
and the big hand's on three.

They say that two is company,
and that's not so of three,
but still the maiden waited on
with all those stars to see,
Till he drew near and then she smiled,
as clouds crept o'er the skies,
and blotted out the stars that felt.
Just then like peeping eyes, Ah!

Shine out, all you little stars,
all you little stars,
please shine.
And keep me company
until he comes to me
at a quarter past nine,
for the world be bright
with your silv'ry light
it will oh, so lonely be
if his hand is not in mine
when the little hand's on nine,
and the big hand's on three.

Shine out, all you little stars,
all you little stars,
please shine.
And keep me company
until he comes to me
at a quarter past nine,
for the world be bright
with your silv'ry light
it will oh, so lonely be
if his hand is not in mine
when the little hand's on nine,
and the big hand's on three.
