Silver Dew on the Bluegrass Tonight

Silver Dew on the Bluegrass Tonight
(Ed Burt)

 The moon was softly shining on an old Kentucky home
 The fragrance of magnolia filled the air
 A lonely girl was writing to her sweetheart 'cross the foam
 May God protect you, darling, over there.

 Silver Dew On The Bluegrass Tonight
 How it shines in the moon's silver light
 Soldier boy, so far from me
 How I wish that you could see
 Silver Dew On The Bluegrass Tonight.

 Stars of gold on the old flag tonight
 While you fight for a cause that is right
 You will keep that flag on high
 For those boys who had to die
 Stars of gold on the old flag tonight.

 Silver Dew On The Bluegrass Tonight
 While I pray you'll come safe thru the fight
 Close your eyes and think of me
 Then, my darling, you will see
 Silver Dew On The Bluegrass Tonight.
