I saw a star tonight and then I Wished -
     Not those same certain wee small wishes sure
     but Wishes, like we whisper into wells
     and such sweet thoughts now strand me without sleep
     and scarcely strength to write these winsome words.

I saw stars shine tonight and then I pined -
     That we could be together for all time
     Not just in time and place, but in our minds
     and life would cease to be cruel and unkind.

I saw the heavens gleam tonight and dreamed -
     We cruised the Caribbean for a week
     Then all the others returned to their lives
     but we remained aboard - eternity
     and never dwelled on all we left behind.

I saw a streetlamp fade tonight and prayed -
     That soulmates can grow closer while apart
     and love can be so strong it never dies.

I saw the winter sky tonight and sighed -
     For time gone by
     And wondered why
     You're not by my side.

I saw a starstruck view tonight and knew -
     It is all true
     for me and you.
