A bang then stardust in your eyes
|
A billion years for just this night
|
In a way it will be alright
|
|
A blackness then the light of a million stars
|
As you slip into in my car
|
The evening sky strikes sparks
|
|
This life, this life and then the next
|
With you I have been blessed
|
What more can you expect
|
|
At night at my telescope alone
|
This emptiness I've roamed
|
Searching for a home
|
|
The stars, a brief string of shining charms
|
Rushing in right out of our arms
|
Into the drifting dark
|
|
This life, this life and then the next
|
With you I have been blessed
|
What more can you expect
|
|
This life, this life and then the next
|
I finger the hem of your dress
|
My universe at rest
|
|
We reach for starlight all night long
|
But gravity is too strong
|
Chained to this earth we go on and on and on and on and on
|
|
Then a million sighs cresting were you stood
|
A beauty in the neighborhood
|
This lonely planet never looked so good
|
|
This life, this life and then the next
|
With you I have been blessed
|
What more can you expect
|
|
This life, this life and then the next
|
I finger the hem of your dress
|
My universe at rest
|
