The Midnight Hour

In our old age reminiscing 
Of moonlight and midnight kissing
We'll talk of today’s sweet memories
Beneath gnarled branches of our favourite tree 
Recalling the cuddles and the dancing
Of moonlight and midnight romancing,
Those memories are imprinted on my mind 
In my heart its midnight all the time.

Velvet blue sky with diamond like stars
No on can explain a love like ours
Time passes like there is no tomorrow
Midnight dreams can cause us sorrow
Reminding us of days gone past
Of hopes and dreams that didn’t last
True love has kept our spirits free
Together forever for eternity

Though the darkest hour can sometimes disappoint 
Midnight can also inspire and rock the joint 
Encouraging romantic couples to dance and sing 
Face up to everything that life can bring 
Yes, we'll dance in that midnight rain 
Twist and shout and then twist again 
In the certain knowledge that one day soon 
We'll share a midnight honeymoon

aww Nette I am so pleased you like it. Darren and I continue to write verse by verse with no discussion about what comes next - quite awesome for two people who only met on here a few short sweet months ago and are now truly the very best of friends :-) Hugs as ever Jan xxxx
