ONCE UPON A MOONLIT NIGHT
WE WALKED A LONELY BEACH.
STARS TWINKLED HIGH ABOVE
THEY SEEMED CLOSE ENOUGH TO REACH.
ARM IN ARM THE MOOD WAS SET,
GULLS RESTED HERE AND THERE.
WE CHATTED FOR A LITTLE WHILE
OUR TALK WAS LIGHT AS AIR.
THIS MOMENT WOULD BE PRICELESS,
IT WOULD LAST THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
A QUICK EXCHANGE OF, I LOVE YOU'S
WASHED AWAY OUR HIDDEN FEARS.
WATER RIPPLED IN THE MOONLIGHT,
SOFT SAND BENEATH OUR FEET.
WHAT A TIME TO HEAR, AND SO SINCERE,
AN, I LOVE YOU, SO SWEET
TWO LOVERS IN THE NIGHT
HAND IN HAND THEY STROLL THE BEACH.
GAZING UP TO SEE THE STARS
ALMOST CLOSE ENOUGH TO REACH.
