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
