Upon the Roof

As we sit out upon the roof  
Of  my childhood home
We gaze up in awe and wonder
At the  celestial  dome

Many times as children
We sat in this very place
Contemplating life, and
Speaking of time and space

One night with you upon this roof
I made a birthday wish
You then granted that one wish for me
When you gave me my first kiss.

It's been many years since that night
And we are still so much in love
We still sit out on this roof and 
look at the moon and stars above

We talk about our future
and where we want to go from hear
We tell each other secrets
just as we have done for years.

Each night I still look forward 
To seeing the moon and stars with you
From now until the end of time
Our love will see us through.
