Most stars don’t come out ’til it’s dark
But one came early guided by her little spark
She smiled, starlight blazed across the sky
She came and she lit up all our little lives
Ah, ah, ah, ah
O’r the southwest sky
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Saskia arrived
Little acorn someday you will be
Tall and mighty as an old Acacia tree
Until then your folks hold you nestled in the lee
And they’ll take care of you just like they took care of me
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Blossoms fill the skies
Ah, ah, ah, ah
When Saskia arrives
Good morning Bent Street, shiny little pearl
There’s a soft new pillow
In the unmade bed of this big old world
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Warm against your skin
Saskia begins
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Come on dry your eyes
Saskia has arrived
And when she’s lost
And if she roams
Just let that squeezebox lead her home
Most folks turn out pretty much the same
But I reckon, now and then we need a little change
A tiny messenger smaller than a dove
We better listen to her postcards of eternal love
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Pound on every door
Saskia is born
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Sing it in their ears
Saskia is here
Ah, ah, ah, ah
What a lucky girl
Saskia’s in the world
