"Tonight"

Tonight as I stand out here alone, and count the stars above.
I cannot help but reminisce, and remember how we loved...
It calms my soul, and  stills my heart,
and for moments I'm at rest...
I think back on the years gone by,
and know that I was blessed...

And then I stop and think of you, 
and wonder where you are...
are you standing out beneath the sky? 
And looking at the stars.

Tonight as I stand out here alone, with a breeze upon my face, 
I think of all the hours together, we spent in this one place.
It calms my soul, and stills my heart,
and for moments I'm at rest...
I think back on the years gone by,
and know that I was blessed...

And do you stop and think of me?
and wonder where I am...
are you standing out beneath the sky?
And thinking as I am..

Tonight as we stand out here alone, with a breeze upon our faces,
we think of all the times gone by, but we do it from separate places.
So here and now, I'll make this vow,
to count the stars each night.
And hope that you can do the same, they are here for us tonight...
