When Stars Come Out To Play

When stars come out to play at night
and up above the moon is bright,
the darkness cloaks the light of day
as shadows in the darkness sway
like silhouettes in pale moon light.

The hearts of lovers soon excite
as passions tempted with delight;
they come together quite risqué
            when stars come out to play.

And as they hold each other tight
the flames of fervor will ignite
desires from deep within that prey
and light the night with their soiree,
and then the dance of love takes flight
           when stars come out to play.
