Hello to the Stars

(Verse 1)
I walked out on the front porch tonight,
Crickets singin’ soft in the pale moonlight.
Old rocking chair creaks a tune we know,
Like the lullabies from long ago.

I see your face in the cloudless sky,
And the breeze feels like your last goodbye.
Though the world keeps turnin’, movin’ on,
Somehow I don’t feel you're gone.

(Chorus)
Hello to the stars, I hope you hear me,
Whisperin’ my heart through the midnight breeze.
I miss your voice, your gentle ways,
The way you'd brighten up my darkest days.
If love can travel past the blue,
Then this song's a letter straight to you.
No matter how near or how far—
I send my love, hello to the stars.

(Verse 2)
I still wear that worn-out denim coat,
The one you patched when the pocket tore.
And the porch light flickers like your laugh,
Like you’re still here, just walkin’ past.

I’ve learned life don’t come with a map,
But I still hear your voice when I’m off track.
Saying, “Son, stand tall and trust the road,
And never fear the things unknown.”

(Chorus)
Hello to the stars, I hope you feel me,
Tellin’ you my dreams and all I still believe.
You taught me how to live with grace,
To take the bitter with the sweet we face.
If prayers can rise like smoke through pines,
Then I believe you're watchin’ all the time.
Through every broken beat of this heart—
I send my soul, hello to the stars.

(Bridge)
I ain't afraid of the night no more,
It’s just the sky with an open door.
You’re up there somewhere shining true,
Lighting paths for folks like me and you.

(Verse 3)
Now my little girl’s got your smile,
And she asks to hear your name awhile.
I say, “He’s up there where angels are,
Just look up and say hello to the stars.”

(Final Chorus)
Hello to the stars, it’s me again,
Still holdin’ tight through the thick and thin.
I’ve made some peace, I’ve walked some miles,
Still cry sometimes, still laugh and smile.
If heaven hears these midnight tunes,
Then know I’m singin’ just for you.
Forever close, never too far—
I send my love... hello to the stars.

(Outro)
So when the night falls quiet and deep,
And the world drifts off to sleep,
I'll be right here where memories are—
Rockin’ slow... sayin’ hello to the stars.
