To count my blessings among the stars,
As I count my travels near and far,
The darkest night makes a final stand.
Gives me the will to rightly fight,
And my tired eyes gently lose sight.

Because what else could you really believe?
When earth stands still on a summer eve.
The tired times pass with total ease,
Make this last forever, please.

And I feel the chill of the western air,
And think that life may actually be so fair,
To think of all falls in the reach of can.
The sky turns from blue to black,
As sleep begins to make its attack,

Because what else could you really believe?
When earth stands still on a summer eve.
The tired times pass with total ease,
Make this last forever, please.

Lights reach within my street,
Awake loses the will to compete,
Quiet rest gives me what I need.
And for a few moments free,
Just a moment would simplicity see.

Because what else could you really believe?
When earth stands still on a summer eve.
The times pass with total ease,
Make this last forever, please.
