Our Own Heaven

They say you wish upon a star...

But, darling, how do I know there’s a star for me?

Or for you?

You see, there are just so many stars

so many people

so many wishes, darling,

How do I know which one is for us?

 

I know that,

if I had a wish,

I would wish not for a big house

nor money

nor the ability to fly,

 

but

 

I would wish for

your happiness, darling,

Because that’s all I really want.

 

But,

 

if there isn’t a star for us,

I ask for your heart, darling,

Because then, I can nurture you

love you

make you happy,

 

And then,

 

With your heart and your happiness,

I won’t need a star to wish upon.

 

Because you, darling,

you will be my star.

 

And broad Heaven’s stars will smile down on us below:

Our Own Heaven reflected in their eyes

while your eyes will shine more brightly than all of them:

We are Forever, darling.
