The Love That Makes Everything Right

Conversing in starlight In a night of a thousand dreams, We were laughing a midnight Watching the headlights flicker by Like drunken fireflies. I'm so happy to see you, I find such consolation In the way you smile, Your eyes are my home Whenever I'm lonely. When you were a young girl, You played piano and sang As sunlight shone through the window Of your Saturday room And settled on purple flowers. Everyday I fall in love Like when we were children Walking the sweet sidewalk In front of Mrs. O'Brian's Bakery In the afternoon after school. One day the world will exist Long after we've parted With your lingering perfume And our final kiss, But I know we made everything better For our moment in this place.
