Stairway To the Stars

Still is the night, deep blue as the sea
 The moon and I keep a rendezvous
  A star reaches out, to light up my way
   I won’t be afraid, at the end of the day
    Rising before me, is a staircase of crystal
     Whispers of angels, are singing a song
      As soft music plays, the soft breezes whistle
       You call out my name, and lead me along

        Tonight is the moment, I’ve waited so long!
         Of wishes I’ve held, to see you again

          The questions I’ve asked, I know you have heard me
           Here and hereafter are just steps apart
            Each step brings me closer.. Oh, be still, my heart!

             So soon I’ll have answers!
              The place I belong, is waiting for me
               All things I have longed for, I’m beginning to see
                Reaching out with your hand, your smile reassures me
                 Stars shine in your eyes, as you wrap me in love
