Starry night

Beneath the Southern Cross we stand

Bright stars so high above 

You held me close; took my hand

Told me of your true love 

Great Southern Ocean roared

As we took our place upon this land 

From my beating heart; my love poured

As I too gladly clasped your hand 

Beneath my heart

I carried you beneath my heart 

For 9 long months we shared 

Blood flowing through our veins 

For you; my darling; I cared

When first I saw your face 

I fell in love with you 

Here in my heart you’re placed

My precious daughter it’s true 

Just like mum

I never realised before 

I never actually kept score 

I am just like my mum 

That’s the undisputed truth; chum

Though I thought otherwise 

I have now come to realise 

I am more like my dear mum 

I am a part of the total; that sum

I am bossy britches

Don’t keep me in stitches

I do things the same way 

It is true I must say!
