Love's Dipper

Even the moon can see our love
Whenever we're apart
I'm the first star in the dipper
And you, the fourth that stole my heart

I try to be the second star
And hope you'll be the third
But I can't ask the second star
'Cause stars can't speak a word

I love the way you wink at me
It really makes me shine
The other stars see you wink
But they know that you are mine

The third star tries to wink sometimes
But you won't look his way
He looks at me with envious eyes
While praying for the day

I wonder if the earth below
Look to the Heavens above
Can they see the dipper's first and fourth
Are truly stars in love?
