Starlight 

There is a silence as the sunset turns to gold, a warm blue sea

Whose waves with blond crests billowing

Wash upon a timeless beach;

There is warmth and love abounding

As we walk along this shore,

Our hearts and hands, a single soul

Of love - I ask no more.

And where in all this paradise, where palm and sand meets sea,

Could one envisage anything

That would tear your heart from me?

Your eyes, the starlight sparkle of an early evenings light

Fill my soul - Complete me,

As in love we walk this night.

Our barefoot gentle footfall

In the sands washed warm by tide,

In step, In love

We share our dreams of lifelong

Side-by-side.

I pray, that should tomorrow come

And shift paradise somehow,

That I can spend forever -

In your arms,

The here - The now!

The darkness brings its shadows as the sunset heralds stars,

The paradise is fleeting,

But not the love that’s ours;

And as we lay to share our dreams

As lovers this sweet night;

I pray that for forever,

You will remain

My Love,

Starlight.
