WHISPER TONIGHT
---words and music copyright (C) 1984 by Ernest Clark



        Am         Dm         G          Am
Chorus: Starlight, starlight, shimmering bright,
              Dm     G       Am
        First star tonight I see,
                   Dm         G         Am
        Starlight, starlight, whisper tonight,
        F           G       Am
        Whisper her name to me.


    F          G             Am
I remember the night that we parted,
     F          G       Am
By a ship under waiting sky.
F            G             C   Em  Am
Decades in a vessel flying out and out,
      Dm                       E
While here on the ground stand I,    (Chorus.)

I remember the day of the letter.
The commission wanted her, but not me.
A thousand dreams together all came crashing down,
And I let my treasure free,     (Chorus.)


I remember the day I first loved her,
Trading thoughts long into the night,
Looking up, to find we shared a secret dream
To be on that first starflight,   (Chorus.)


Fly on, though none can now see you.
Fly on, when I am dust.
Fly on, and on, to your destiny
As we each go where we must,      (Chorus.)
