about

this is about a daughter and her mother

lyrics

Don’t get up, mama, it’s okay
I’ll just sit right here and play
Would if you could, oh that candy looks good
Maybe on another day

There’s another star in the Kalamazoo sky tonight
Same old sky, but it feels brand new
Every once in a while, I borrow your smile and it seems so right
Making everybody else smile, too

Why’s everybody gotta whisper?
And the tears on your little sister
You gotta go, that’s what everybody’s saying
“And we’re all sure gonna miss her”

There’s another star in the Kalamazoo sky tonight
Think I know what it’s about
Like another bulb on an old strand of Christmas lights
But this one won’t be burning out

Kiss and a hug from a little ladybug
Now it’s time to go on home

There’s another star in the Kalamazoo sky tonight
Burning like a little sun
And if you’re wondering why that big black sky shines so bright
Well, she needs to cover everyone
