The sun is slowly setting
We sit and watch the stars arise
This moment is not worth forgetting
My feelings I cannot disguise
I have waited for so very long
To share just one simple kiss
There is no way this could be wrong
It is such a state of bliss
You wrap your arms around me
And tell me that you care
You opened my eyes and let me see
I hope this moment not to wear
Our feelings for each other we simply cannot deny
As that one last shimmering star goes shooting by
