Celestial Serenade

 

~ Celestial Serenade ~

 

Long ago, on a night like this

I first dreamt of you

not knowing who you were

but knowing you were true

 

a lover's arms, a safe place

a dream to hang my hat on

you came to me in slumber

and vanished with the dawn

 

I'd look for you

in the stars at night

I'd close my eyes

you aren't in sight

 

but the moon just smiled

because she knew who you were

and she had some magic to disperse

before our meeting could occur

 

she called on the elements

she called on time

she set the stage

and wrote the rhyme

 

waxing poetic

she filled our hearts

and on a night like this

our romance starts.
