Why can’t there always be moonbeams
Why can’t there always be starlight
In the night time sky every night
Why can’t you always be holding my hand tight
As we watch shooting stars of light
Why can’t there always be whispers
In a perfectly clear night time air
Of all the lovers before that have stood here
Just like us, holding hands, trying to count stars
Feeling so small in this world under the sky
Why can’t a perfect moment like this
Somehow be frozen in space, in time
To be, forever yours, forever mine
No yesterdays, no tomorrows, only now
Just forever in this perfect moment with you
Why can’t there always be starlight
In the night time sky every night
Why can’t you always be holding my hand tight
As we watch shooting stars of light
Why can’t there always be whispers
In a perfectly clear night time air
Of all the lovers before that have stood here
Just like us, holding hands, trying to count stars
Feeling so small in this world under the sky
Why can’t a perfect moment like this
Somehow be frozen in space, in time
To be, forever yours, forever mine
No yesterdays, no tomorrows, only now
Just forever in this perfect moment with you
