(4/4 / G major / 72 bpm)

G                                                        G7
Good evening, stars, and goodnight rain
                     C                 
I now know why the heavens sang
                   G                       D  
Many have tried to tell the tale
               C                Em
The miracle behind the veil

G /  D /   C

G                   G7               
How can this be?
                          C              C7  
How could love happen to me?
            G                    Em
I carry light from the stars
                            D      G
While wise men sleep afar

G /  D /   C

                         G                               G7
Good evening, stars, and good night moon
                     C              
I know why joy leapt in her womb
              G                              D
how the angels clapped their hands
                    C                     Em
And suddenly the world began

G /  D /   C

G                    G7
How can this be?
                          C              C7
How could love happen to me?
            G                    Em
I carry light from the stars
                            D       G
While wise men sleep afar

G /  D /   C  /  G
