Night Light
Capturing Starlight: A Love Journey Under Night Skies
Lyrics
Saw you stumble down the back steps of the house
Saw someone descending the rear steps of a house.
You had starlight in your eyes
The person's eyes had a glow resembling starlight.
When you walked across the lawn you were smiling
The person walked across the lawn with a joyful expression.
And then to my surprise
The observer was surprised by what happened next.
I caught your eyes and they lit up my mind
The observer's eyes met the person's, causing excitement.
Had me fluttering inside
This interaction created internal fluttering emotions.
You floated over and my legs went numb
The person approached, leading to a physical reaction.
Had to lean against your side
The observer leaned against the person's side.
So take me away from here
A desire to be taken away from the current situation.
Into the stars my dear
A plea to be taken into the stars.
Somewhere that your eyes can shine
To find a place where the person's eyes can shine.
And be my only light
To be the sole source of light for the observer.
So take me far from here
A repetition of the desire to be taken far from the current location.
And send away all my fears
To eliminate and send away all fears.
Somewhere I can forget life
To find a place where life can be forgotten.
And lose myself
To get lost and lose oneself.
I woke up to the sound of you smiling
Waking up to the sound of the person's joy.
And your hands were on my skin
The person's hands touching the observer's skin.
You brushed the hair out of your face, and we
Brushing hair away, signifying a transformative moment.
Would never be the same again
A realization that things will never be the same.
You opened up your mouth to say something
The person attempted to speak, but the observer declined politely.
But I politely refused
A refusal to hear words, as both understood without them.
You didn't have to say a single word to me
No need for verbal communication; mutual understanding.
No we both knew
Both individuals shared unspoken knowledge.
So take me away from here
A repetition of the desire to be taken away.
Into the stars my dear
A plea to be taken into the stars, reinforcing the yearning.
Somewhere that your eyes can shine
Reiterating the wish for a place where the person's eyes can shine.
And be my only light
To be the exclusive source of illumination.
So take me away from here
Restating the desire to be taken far from the current situation.
(So take me far from here)
A parenthetical urging to be taken even farther away.
Into the stars my dear
Repetition of the plea to be taken into the stars.
(And send away all my fears)
Encouraging the removal and dismissal of all fears.
Somewhere that your eyes can shine
Reiterating the desire for a place where the person's eyes can shine.
(Somewhere I can forget life)
Yearning for a place where life can be forgotten.
And be my only light
To be the exclusive source of illumination, again.
(And lose myself)
To lose oneself, once more.
So take me far from here
Repetition of the desire to be taken far from the current location.
And send away all my fears
Reiterating the need to send away all fears.
Somewhere I can forget life
Emphasizing the desire to forget life and its challenges.
And lose myself
To get lost and lose oneself, a final plea.
