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.
