Beneath the Starry Skies

On certain summer nights
When the sweet scent of pine
Lingers like a long ago promise
I still can see the lights
Of that sleepy town shine
From the hilltop, shimmering through time

There beneath the starry skies
Will I dream of your shining eyes
Sparkling bright like fireflies
Beneath the starry skies

I hear a single bell
Ringing out from the hill
Pealing once, forlorn in the silence
To tell me all is well
All is silent and still
In the valley, but for my heart

There beneath the starry skies
Will I hear your sweet laughter rise
Like a swarm of butterflies
Beneath the starry skies

And after years of drifting out to sea
My prayer will wash ashore
Please don't let this moment slip away

And still I feel the breeze
Hear the rustle of leaves
In the treetops whispering softly
The moon would rise with ease
Over gables and eaves
Like a lantern leading the way

There beneath the starry skies
A kiss so light, all of nature sighs
Still awaits the dreamer's eyes
Beneath the starry skies
The starry skies
