Standing before a birthday cake
Looking up at a star
Leafing through a store catalog
Scrolling through a shop website
All these seem so unrelated
But have one thing in common.
Feelings flying high upon the wind
A kite soaring across the sky
Fishes swimming up stream
A child up on Christmas Eve
All seem so different but see
They all imitate my emotions now.
You are all I so wish for tonight
A candle burning by a window
The prayer beside my bed
My dream across a horizon
All have you in common
Beneath our covers
And side by side
‘Til the wheels wear out.
