O’ night beautiful,
do you think like I do
of all the things
that happen to you
sunshine’s might
is a bully’s right,
destiny’s slight
carries the weight of my plight
you bleed roses
they pluck petals,
you are the tide
they are the shore
O’ night beautiful,
do you feel like I do
of all the things
that happen to you
karma’s flattery
is hope’s forgery,
time’s sorcery
is the theme of my story
you write poems
they skim pages,
you light the sky
they sleep through the stars
O’ night beautiful,
do you love like I do
do these things
happen to you too
if unreturned love
is love supreme…
I’ll keep the porch light on,
knowing you forgot the way home
O’ night beautiful,
do you ever wonder why
we never get bored of each other,
even though we never say a word
for hours together
O’ night beautiful,
do you ever wonder why
we both get along so well,
I think maybe we both
don’t know how to love well !
