Sleepless evenings full of love & laughter Early morning sunbeams peeking through the trees Purple, pink, & periwinkle skies stretching across the sea Talking quietly, careful not to wake the dogs Eastward geese flying towards the Empire State Music, soft and slow beneath the stars Branches brown and losing leaves, turning rouge & gold Even the mountains & hills still call out my name Remember those misty mornings, crisp air & no despair
