Lying under a blanket of stars,
Staring up into the sky
I turn my head to see your face
And you gaze into my eyes
Lying under the cover of night,
I speak to you of how I feel
You give me a perfect, dazzling smile
And then a kiss you steal
The night is coming to an end,
And I'm afraid it's time to go
But before we climb to our feet,
There's something I want to know
If I lay here,
Would you decide to stay
Would you remain by my side
As the night slowly turned to day?
We could lie here in the grass
Underneath our canopy of stars
We could claim this night for our own
And the whole world could be ours.
We could lie here till our bodies take root
And the grass grows around our knees
We could share a million kisses
And pay homage to the trees
We could be a part of the earth,
Feel the rain on our skin
We could hide underneath the leaves
Until the clovers spring forth again
We could spend an eternity together
Woven among the flowers
These seconds could turn into minutes
Minutes that become ours
If I just lay here
Would you stay here too?
Then I could muster the courage to say
That I'm in love with you.
We could lie here in the grass
Underneath our blanket of stars
We could claim this night for our own
And the whole world would be ours.
