We got here yester night
My lady of light and I
We are in the land of the pharaohs
We are in Cleopatra’s throes
As I stare at the pyre of Giza
I behold a stunning vista
Peeking from behind the pyre
The shiny belt of the great hunter
Orion watching over us
A good thing to keep in mind
And with his belt us-
He doth bind
Tis the night of love
Tis the season of affection
God watches from above
We have his full attention
I stare at my darling’s moonlit face
And upon me settles an ache
A stray hair I tuck back in place
A quick kiss I lean in to take
Our ups and downs we’ve had
Fights come and gone like a fad
Thru every foul mood
Firm our love has stood
Three quick thanks I whisper:
One to my lady for loving
One to the saint for dying
And one to the Father for everything
