A Handful of Stars

I recall a story
A night of love and glory
A night that left my heart romantic stars
We stood so near to heaven
That I reached clear to heaven
And gathered you a handful of stars

Sweet remembered hour
When love began to flower
With moonlight through the trees like silver bars
And as the moon grew older
I reached across your shoulder
And gathered you a handful of stars

I place my fingertips upon your lips
The stars fell in your eyes
The moonglow made a halo of your hair
Suddenly you looked at me
And dreams began to rise
Oh what things unspoken trembled in the air

Our hearts were madly beating
And then our lips were meeting
And Venus seemed to melt right into Mars
Then while we stood caressing
Blue heaven sent a blessing
A shower of a handful of stars
