 The weather man said there was a pretty good chance

 Of a big one coming that night

 Everybody in town was locking it down

 Closing shutters and finding flash lights

 Oh but daddy's intuition is sharper then a knife

 Said the rain don't come til the robin takes flight

 And he smiled like he always does

We stayed out until the sun came up

Chorus

 And we counted our blessings one by one

 And the wind and the thunder never did come

 We just sat there talking, laughing like fools

Nobody watching but the man in the moon

 And the whole world slept that perfect night

 I learned a little bout living and a lot about life

 Out there in the backyard

 Just me and him and 538 stars

 Some shimmered and shined like big diamond rings

 Some sank into the milky way

 He told me about the one who led the three kings

 To the stable on Christmas Day

 He always made it easy for me to understand

 Said we're all a part of a much bigger plan

 And he smiled like he always does

We stayed out until the sun came up

Chorus

 And we counted our blessings one by one

 And the wind and the thunder never did come

 We just sat there talking, laughing like fools

Nobody watching but the man in the moon

 And the whole world slept that perfect night

 I learned a little bout living and a lot about life

 Out there in the backyard

 Just me and him and 538 stars

Bridge

 We watched the world

 Just the two of us

 Like it always is

 Like it always was

Chorus

 And we counted our blessings one by one

 And the wind and the thunder never did come

 We just sat there talking, laughing like fools

Nobody watching but the man in the moon

 And the whole world slept that perfect night

 I learned a little bout living and a lot about life

 Out there in the backyard

 Just me and him and 538 stars

 Just me and dad and 538 stars
