Under a summer's sky we lay,
under a velvet sky.
Warmed by the heat from the earth we lay,
together you and I.

Flittering bats were about that night,
and the ghost of an owl flew by,
Searching and chasing their prey that night,
as we watched them you and I.

Scents from the flowers and hay that night
Lingered on slumbering air.
You reached out your hand and we touched that night.
Some moments are moments to share.

High in the sky the stars shone bright
As they'd done on our fathers before
Diamonds and gems in the heavens that night
Timeless, infinite, awe.

Vast was the sky that summers night.
So vast, and we were so small  
When a feeling of oneness fell on us that night
And we felt we were part of it all.

All my life I have looked at the stars at night
To soak in that feeling of awe
And rejoiced that out of the dark comes light.
I'll keep searching and searching for more.
