Ballad lyrics
by Original Broadway Cast of Dead Outlaw
[ELMER]
When the stars are bright, like these stars
So they almost hurt your eyes
It's like maybe God is singing you a song
Singing you a song
And the cottonwoods are whistling
And the owls and frogs join in
The breeze in your hair, the honeysuckle air
"All there," they sing, "all there"
The sky is black, but filled with diamonds
You can almost hold them in your hand
And up there, God is preaching
Laughing while you're reaching
And that's what no one ever seems to understand
When the wind is warm, like this wind
It reminds you who you are
The dew, it appears, just like grateful tears
I'm here, I'm here, I'm here
The dew, it appears, just like grateful tears
I'm here, I'm here, I'm here
Ooh, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here
