Reunion Romance

Oh, high school reunion
Oh, long time, no see
Oh, hearts reconnecting
Ooh, reliving old dreams

(Oh) the school gym is alive, decorations all around
Old friends and faces, familiar sounds
(Oh) Mark enters the room, eyes scanning the scene
Searching for Lisa, the girl of his dreams

Lisa's mingling with friends, memories shared
Mark feels his heartbeat, he's almost scared
He sees her across the room, a vision in red
Tonight's the night he'll say what's unsaid

Maybe tonight, under city lights
Our hearts beat again, like fireflies in the night

He steps forward, takes a deep breath
Recalling those years, his secret kept
"Hey Lisa, remember the debate team?"
"Mark! Of course, Mark, that was my dream"

Mark smiles, "So, what have you been up to?"
"Political science, trying to make a breakthrough"
"Journalism for me, chasing the truth"
Their eyes lock, hearts pounding with youth
Then holds, so blue

Maybe tonight, under city lights
Our hearts beat again, like fireflies in the night

In the echoes of our past (echoes of our past), a love that's meant to last
Tonight, we rewrite our story at last

They talk and laugh, the night slipping by
Mark's heart is pounding, he can't deny
"This song brings back memories, times of old"
"It takes me back too, if I'm bold"

Lisa's eyes dim, "I just went through a breakup
Feeling lonely, trying to stay up"
Mark places a hand on her shoulder, "Sincere
You're not alone, Lisa, I'm here"

Maybe tonight, under city lights
Our hearts beat again, like fireflies

"Do you have a family, Mark? Found someone special?"
"Not yet, I'm waiting for that spark, potential"

"Actually, the person I've been longing for is here
Right now, at this reunion, she's standing near"
Lisa's eyes widen, her breath catching slightly
"Who is it, Mark? Tell me, politely"
"Tell me please"
"Tell me please" (oh, no)
"Tell me please" (yes)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Maybe tonight, under city lights
Our hearts beat again, like fireflies in the night

Mark's gaze softens, a smile on his face
"You, Lisa, it's always been you, in every place"
"Seriously, why didn't you say anything?"
"You were taken, I didn't want to bring a sting"

He reveals his feelings, the time feels right
Lisa, "Why now?" "You're single tonight"
Lisa's smile widens, teasing and bright
"Well, for sure, let's make it right"

Maybe tonight, under city lights
Our hearts beat again, like fireflies in the night

Back to the dance floor, their song comes on
Their lips meet, their connection strong
Public displays, no secrets to hide
In each other's arms, love intensifies

"Are you ready for this?"
Mark, "Never been surer," sealing with a kiss
They slip out, the night their escape
The world fades, their love takes shape

"I love you, Mark"
"I love you, Lisa, always have"

"What about the reunion, did you connect?"
"I came for you, no one else to affect"
In their hotel room, love's sweet embrace
The future awaits, a new phase

"What about tomorrow, what's gonna be?"
"Let's face it together, our love sets us free"
The night whispers secrets only they can hear
Promising forever, embracing all their fears
