G 
  The light was leaving and the west it was blue 
C                       G 
The children's laughter sang 

And skipping just like the stones that they threw 
      C 
Their voices echoed across the way 
             D7 
It's getting late
[Estribillo]
G      F            C 
It was just another night 
         D7 
With the sunset 
        G        F            C 
And the moon-rise not so far behind 
            D7 
To give us just enough light 
    G        F             C 
To lay down underneath the stars 
         D7 
Listen to papa's translations 
G       F                 C 
Of the stories across the sky 
            D7 
We drew our own constellations

G 
The west winds often last too long 
    C                                           G 
The wind may calm down nothing ever feels the same 
 
Sheltered under the Kamani tree 
C                        G 
Waiting for the pas-sing rain 
 
Clouds keep moving to uncover the scene 
C                                G 
Stars above us chasing the day away 
 
To find the stories that we sometimes need 
C                                              D7 
Listen close enough till all else fades, fades away
[Estribillo]
G      F            C 
It was just another night 
       D7 
With a sunset 
      G        F            C 
And a moon-rise not so far behind 
            D7 
To give us just e-nough light 
    G        F             C 
To lay down underneath the stars 
          D7 
Listen to all the translations 
G       F                C 
Of the stories across the sky 
            D7 
We drew our own constellations
