A million shining lights
A million shining lights
As we were looking out the window
at all the stars tonight there must
have been about a million shining lights
from the reflection within her eyes,
that's when I saw it the brightest one
of all, shooting across the skies so
bright a falling ember in the night
so I closed my eyes thought real
hard, took a deep breath as I made
a wish when I opened up my eyes you
looked at me and smiled so I said "you
want to know what wish I wished for
don't you," then you shook her head yes
so I smiled back at her and I said while
I whispered ever so softly into your ear
"I want to stay the night right here next
to you in this bed in your room and right
here I want to lay always through forever
making love every day to you like we
were leaving never coming back home
then when Monday morning comes
around with the alarm going off, I will
call in sick with the flu then pull all the
sheets back up over me and you then
start making love to you again until we
become one deep down within our
hearts beating the same beautiful
rhythm in a righteous a melody of an
undying love along with the innocence
of a truthful honesty, minds thinking
as one yet separately, and our two
souls dancing close together holding
on to one another among the stars and
all of the heavens above never wavering
in their love forevermore then when
we are done we will stare
into each other's eyes and do it all it over again.
