Golden Oldies

Remember the star I named after you The one that hung right next to the moon It was as mysterious as an ancient rune Casting its spell as through the heavens it flew Now that star is but a distant gleam Flickering in the shadow of a passing cloud But your smile still colors all my dreams For love slumbers not, it still shines proud When the moon is full on a breezy summer night And a wistful melody travels on for miles I will look upon your star still shining bright But it pales in comparison to the shadow of your smile And when the winter comes with caress of gentle snow Your smile will linger even if we're apart And when we embrace in passion's tender glow "Speak softly love and hold me warm against your heart" 4/8/16 Songs: The Shadow Of Your Smile, Speak Softly Love.

Wow, GREAT job for creating this soft romantic piece out of two songs. I did mine on Shadow of Smile too (not posted yet) I adore that song.
