The Dew Covered Grass

We sat on the dew covered grass; staring at the stars
We looked into darkness , searching near and far

We sat there for hours; hands held tight
Our eyes gazing upwards, staring into night

A shooting star streaks across the sky
Thinking of you I start to cry

My tears are not of sadness; but those of purest love
We sat on dew covered grass; our eyes cast above

We sat there for hours ; hands held tight; never letting go
A shooting star streaks across the sky; natures light show

The crickets chirp . The bullfrogs croak. Above an eagle flies
I look away and turn to you and gaze into your eyes

We sit on the grass; hands held tight
You turn to me and say ; “It’ll be alright “

We sat there until the sun did rise
Hands still held; looking into each others eyes
