Sandy S. Hello, I am looking for the words of skinna ma rink. ma do. I am not sure of the title really.  my dad used to play it on the harmonica. I work with mentally handicapped children.  They are all autistic. I would like to be able to sing songs to them that mean something to me. I sang You Are My Sunshine this past week. I think it went over well. Do you know of skinna ma rink??  Can you send me the words.  I would appreciate it very much.

STARS ARE THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN

Subject: looking for lyrics of a song: Stars are the Windows of Heaven

Hi there!My sister and I were recently on a trip dealing with matters of the death of our father,on the long ride home, we were discussing memories. We remember our Mother singing to us the song, Stars are the Windows of Heaven. We were trying to sing, but unfortunately we couldn't remember all the lyrics. (Maybe that wasn't an altogether bad thing if you've ever heard us sing! lol) This has sent me on a quest to find the lyrics, we will soon be making another trip, and I thought it might be fun, if we could actually sing the whole song. Any help will be appreciated. And thanks for your great site, it sure has brought back a flood of memories.
Warm Regards, Karen J.

A. Thanks to Candis B. who writes: I found this available by two different performers. The first one is an album by Anne Murray entitled “Now and Forever” from 1994 (disc 2). The second on is by The Deep River Boys entitled “London Harmony.” The following lyrics are from the version as sung by The Deep River Boys (I downloaded it from the iTunes music store at apple.com for 99¢).

THE STARS ARE THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN
Stars are the windows, the windows of Heaven
For people like you and people like me.

Stars are the windows of Heaven where angels peep through;
Up in the sky they keep an eye on kids like me and you.
They cry each time we are naughty, their tear drops are the rain
But when we are good, they are smiling and they shine again.

Stars are the windows of Heaven where angels peep through;
(hoo do do do doot doot doot doot do, hoo do do do doot doot doot doot do)
They cry each time we are naughty, their tear drops are the rain
But when we are good, they are smiling and they shine again.

Oh! Stars are the windows of Heaven where angels peep through,
Where angels peep through.
