On this cold February evening

I gaze out across the ocean

The horizon is empty

Only a single star shines in the sky

Casting shadows on my soul

 

Are there butterflies where you walk?

Are you watching the stars that glitter above the water

Like strings of sparkling diamonds?

Or just listening to the tide moaning

Softly on the shore?

Is the ocean calm?

 

On this lonely shore where we pledged our love

And wrote our promises in the sand

I’ll sit and wait for eternity

Until the water forgets to sparkle again.
