He was just a kid
And every night he looked at a million stars up above
He was just a kid
And he knew he was loved

How he loved to play on long summer days
Memories so warm and kind
He was just a kid
With God and a million things on his mind

Soon he grew to be a young man
And had to leave all that behind
Into a world that was so different as each tomorrow began
With God and a million things on his mind

He met a girl and loved her so
Soon children were on the scene
And found him to be loving and kind
Now he was a family man with God and a million things on his mind

Years passed by and his hair turned gray
He was forgetful of the month and time
But he loved to talk of a warm summer day
And something about stars and God and a million things
On his mind
