Moon Over Miami

The lights of Little Havana glowed And in the cantinas tequila flowed Wisps of starlight filled the sky As the moon over Miami drew nigh The senorita dipped and swayed All over the streets the music played In a joyous frenzy her lover danced And the lady fell deeply entranced They kissed and moved to a Latin beat As the notes rose in the Miami heat Then the distant moon grew big and bright Soon covering that Miami night They fell in love as they twirled and turned And all the while their passion burned The moon over Miami shivered As their lovers' quest was soon delivered * for Deborah Guzzi's contest "Harvest Moon"
