tonight

tonight let me take your hand,
let us swim in the ocean,
under a star covered sky,
then just lie in the sand with your head on my chest,
while I tell you stories to drive the ghosts away,
shielding you from the cold with my arms

tonight let me take you to all special places,
where streets have all the history of the world,
where Men have fought and loved,
and thousands of stories were carved,
with beauty and romance walking hand in hand,
let their performers entertain us while we discover
that life’s greatness is set in stone and mortar,
and lit by thousands of streetlamps

tonight I’ll wear a dark suit,
and you, a beautiful long dress,
let’s us dance to the piano and rain,
in an ancient ball room,
with princes and kings, ladies and queens.
i’ll let you take the lead,
through a maze of warmth, colour and music,
and the crowd will rejoice
with your beauty and grace

tonight, let us pretend that the past is closed,
that we don’t have any wounds, scars nor fears
let us believe in magic, in dreams, and
write our own wide-eyed tales and fantasies,
let us dive into love and passion,
in a long lasting hug,

tonight let me believe that, even if just for a moment,
we’ll love each other forever no matter what,
and that tomorrow will never come

tonight, be all that you were so far,
be all that you will ever be,
live and believe in all your dreams with me by your side,
until dawn comes, and takes you away from me
