Life In The Mountains - Title By Steve Miller

I was in awe of the early morning sky
When I was driving home late the other night.
The stars hung low enough to touch as I drove by
And the moon was shining amazingly bright.

I’ve never lived anywhere more beautiful than here.
It seems like I’ve found a little slice of paradise.
The beautiful smells and the quiet sounds that I hear
Tell me I’ve built my home in a place that’s really nice.

It’s as if a switch is flipped by someone above
Turning on the beauty every night that surrounds me.
Sharing this world with the woman that I love
Makes my life better than I ever thought it could be.

Sitting on our deck together, we live our story.
I could never have been given a better life.
Although our view is full of color and glory,
Nothing compares to the beauty of my wife.

Oh Man! I should steal this and make it my own. Maybe a couple of changes but you are living my life. You have a a place in the mountains, I have a veranda overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. I am so blessed with how our life has turned out.. Your poem is safe, I am an honest man of God. Blessings. D.
