STANDING IN THE STARLIGHT

STANDING IN THE STARLIGHT

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

DUSK COMES
BRUSHES AWAY THE DAY
COLORS FADE 
IN THE FAILING LIGHT
TIME SLOWS DOWN
LONG ENOUGH TO FEEL 
LONG ENOUGH TO SEE

FACE TO FACE
WE HAVE TO LOOK INSIDE
TWO HEARTS
BATHED IN STARLIGHT
DANCE BENEATH THE MOON
WHY NOT
NOBODIES HERE
THE MAGIC DRAWING NEAR
NEAR ENOUGH TO FEEL
NEAR ENOUGH TO SEE

CAN YOU FEEL IT TO
WHERE THE RIVER RUNS
IN A LINE
SHIVER DOWN MY SPINE
YOU HOLD MY HAND
LOOK INTO MY EYES
YOU CAN ALWAYS SEE
WHAT'S INSIDE
 ALL THE REASONS 
FOR MY LIFE
YOU COULD SIGN YOUR NAME
 TO MY FATE
 SURE ITS NOT TOO LATE

YOU MAKE IT ALL WORTHWHILE
STANDING IN THE STARLIGHT
TRYING TO FIND
THE WORDS THAT WON'T COME
MAYBE I'M JUST SPEECHLESS
OR THERE'S NO WORDS LEFT
TO DESCRIBE
THESE FEELINGS INSIDE

THE MOON GLOWS BACK
WITH INDIFFERENCE
LAUGHS AT MY RESISTANCE
CENTERED AT MY INSISTENCE
TWILIGHT SETS ON 
NIGHT SKY BLUE
THE MEANING BEHIND
THE MEANING BESIDE

YOU'LL BE IN MY DREAMS
STANDING IN YOUR LIGHT
I'LL BE THERE
IN YOUR LIFE
THE SUNS COMING ON
THE DARKNESS NEARLY GONE
STARLIGHT FADES AWAY
HELLO SUN RAY 
TIME SLOWS DOWN
LONG ENOUGH TO FEEL
LONG ENOUGH TO HEAL
TO SEE
FACE TO FACE
WE HAVE TO LOOK INSIDE
TWO HEARTS
 BATHED IN STARLIGHT
WASHED IN MOONLIGHT 
THESE FEELINGS INSIDE
TELL ME I TRIED
YOU COULD SIGN YOUR NAME
